Abstract
In order to understand the dimensions and consequences of the Spanish flu, the great influenza pandemic of 1918-1920, it is necessary to carry out analytical research at the local and regional level, in order to compare the results with similar research carried out in other national and international contexts. The Glocal Spanish Influenza project focuses on the case of Tuscany and aims to reconstruct both the number of deaths and the number of sick peoplemortality and morbidity figures, as well as the institutional responses to the crisis, the political consequences, collec- tive behaviour, memories and displacements. Here we present two contributions by Roberto Bianchi, who compares the Spanish flu and Covid-19, and by Giovanni Gozzini, who analyses the numbers of the Spanish flu.
