In this period of Covid19 pandemic, for historians to create parallels with previous experiences in similar contexts becomes almost instantaneous. The Spanish Flu, which our grandparents still remember, was a disease that in the course of history killed millions of people: it is thought that at least 25-30 million people died from it, in Italy estimates show about 600,000 deaths for Spanish flu. The city of Milan, in particular the Policlinico Ca' Granda, was overwhelmed by this disease. From September 1918 to April 1919, a total of 5,684 people suffering from Influenza were admitted to the hospital, of whom 4,198 recovered and 1,486 died. Between 1918 and 1919, administrative and organizational measures were imple- mented to deal with the situation. Initiatives were taken on the hygiene of the hospital environment and on the disinfection of the patients' linen; numerous instruments were purchased; new spaces were opened for the Spanish patients and rules and procedures were introduced regarding visits to the sick by the public. We should not forget the central role that nurses played during 1918 and 1919. As today, several colleagues were affected and died for this cause, but they were awarded prizes, gratifications and praise for the hard and dangerous work they did on a daily basis.
