Your name is Pablo Vercelli.

You live in the town of Potenza.

Your background

You became a doctor several years ago after studying at the University of Salernum (now Salerno) for five years. You believe you are up-to-date with the latest techniques in medicine including the use of leeches and the process of cauterisation.

Your role

It will be your job to tell your group about the disease that caused the Black Death. You should come to some conclusions about why doctors like yourself were unable to control the disease and what part you played in the historical event that we call the Black Death.
