Introduction
When in November of 1815 began to spread in the Kingdom of Naples, the news of an attack of fever in Puglia and precisely in the town of Noja, the government of the kingdom had just returned to Ferdinand IV of Bourbon.
To better understand the behavior of policy makers and scientific era in the face of this horrific event, now after all these years and in a more serene climate of objectivity, it can be said that the Bourbon King intervened decisively to the solution optimal problem, although some pseudo history of the Risorgimento has always done nojani believe the opposite.

Today we can say that this policy, considered by historians in the past repressive and unjust for our city, was very far-sighted because, thanks to the strict prevention measures and prevention, Noja was saved from complete destruction at the end of the infection were counted almost 800 deaths in a population of 5000 inhabitants.
expensive was the cost to the Revenue Bourbon state: more than 12 million ducats!
And so in order to better understand the tragic events of that event happened about two hundred years ago, in the following pages I have transcribed excerpts from books by writers considered important for the history of the plague of Noja: dr. Arcangelo D'Onofrio, and Sebastian Tagarelli Vitangelo Morea.

In particular I focused on the Detail History of the Plague of Noja, report issued by the Head of Royal Medical Commission Dr. Arcangelo D'Onofrio, in 1817.
must be said that the work has not had great luck in time for several reasons: it was accused of partisanship and falsity in the description of what happened, but I personally believe that all sources contain some truth and thus be worthy of this considered.
This work is enhanced by photographs of the sites of infection and try to infer the characteristics of care.
For the first time they appear, thanks to the availability of the Augustinian Fathers of Our Lady of the Lama, pictures of the crypt of the old cemetery of the church were buried the first 42 died of the plague.

On behalf of the Association Cittàntica Vito Didonna publicly thank for his invaluable work of safeguarding, and above all to discover what is keeping alive the history of our beloved country.
should do so together, associations, government and citizens, to facilitate the activities of those who, taking away time on their work, and also calls to their families financially, with their work helping this country come out of hibernation for too long now that culture is rampant especially among the younger generation.
Thanks Vito, to maiora always.
