In 1855 there was a cholera outbreak in Bologna. There were about 70,000 people living in the city with tens to hundreds of people being affected by cholera every day. (On the 12 July there were 169 cases alone registered)
The plaque reads:
"Addi' 22 luglio 1855
In questa via cesso' il morbo cholera
Per grazie di Maria"
On the day of the 22nd of July 1855
In this street, cholera was halted
Thanks to Mary.
Back in the good old days when you'd erect a monument after a pandemic - instead of letting RF "a worm ate my brain" Kennedy Jr. become a health secretary.
