"An island where preventive quarantine was developed in the 15th century, offering historical insights into Venice's past."
"A 14-acre island in the Venetian lagoon, roughly two miles northeast of the city center, the Lazzaretto Nuovo is where public health measures that combat epidemics were born. Quarantine, social distancing, even disinfecting our groceries—they may be new concepts to us, but the Venetians were doing it 700 years ago."
