Giovanni de Ventura
Giovanni de Ventura was a municipal plague doctor for the town of Pavia.〔 King, p. 371 〕 He was a certified physician from a University and had a degree.〔 Gottfried, p. 126 〕
== Contract 1479 ==
When Ventura negotiated a "spectacular" plague doctor contract in 1479 with the town of Pavia to treat plague patients, he was fresh out of school and desired to start a medical career. He became a plague doctor for the city of Pavia, which involved a sixteen-clause contract with the city.〔 (The Contract of a Plague Doctor ) 〕 The salary he received was 30 florins per month (plus full citizenship and a free house),〔 Byrne (Daily), p. 169 〕 which was five to six times the salary of a skilled person of the time – the average skilled person earned about 60 florins per year, where Ventura received 360 florins per year.〔〔 (The Contract of a Plague Doctor ) 〕〔 Miskimin, p. 66 〕
Ventura was also to receive an adequate completely furnished house in an adequate location with supplemental living costs. He also received a cash advance and a severance package when he left at the end of his contract which consisted of two months' pay. He was not to require a fee from a plague patient, since the town was paying him, unless they offered freely. If the town had too many plague victims that his salary was not obtainable, then he was free to leave with no further obligations. Likewise, if he received pay and died before his normal services were performed, his heirs (perhaps parents) were not obligated to return any of that advanced pay.〔 Miskimin, p. 67〕
The most important of the "benefits" of his contract with the city was a full town citizenship, as he had immigrated to the area from the countryside. He was not initially a town citizen. This gave him the possibility of setting up a more lucrative practice in the city after his contract ended. This benefit was the most attractive to him. In return for the contract benefits, he was to treat and take care of all plague and infectious patients of the town. He was to see the plague patients two or three times per day or more if necessary. Ventura was not to go around the city unless escorted by a designated city member – so as not to spread the contagious disease. Ventura could see only bubonic plague patients and was prohibited from seeing other patients with other illnesses.〔 Miskimin, p. 65 ''These were physicians or surgeons, especially hired by an infected town or village in time of an epidemic, who were responsible for the treatment of the plague patients only and had to refrain from intercourse with the rest of the population.''〕 This was covered in Clause 16 of his 1479 contract with the city of Pavia:
