-
And the Cotugno Hospital, then as now,
-
was the infectious diseases hospital of the city.
-
I suddenly knew that
-
there was this great excess of mortality
-
in the summer of 1911,
-
and that the mortality was from infectious diseases,
-
because the people had been buried
-
in vast numbers from the Cotugno Hospital
-
as their last port of call.
-
Then the next thought
-
and I think a lot of historical work
-
is a bit like detective work
