Summary: "Del governo della peste e della maniera di guardarsene" by Lodovico Antonio Muratori is a treatise on the governance and management of plague written in the early 18th century. This work addresses the measures that could be taken to mitigate the effects of plague, examining the political, medical, and ecclesiastical responses necessary for public health crises. The author aims to provide practical guidance for communities on how to prepare for and react to outbreaks of the disease, which has historically had devastating impacts on populations.
