In Florence during the time of the black death there were a group of gravediggers who formed sort of a union/gang that would exploit the crisis in their favor. Maybe they were lucky or built up an immunity but somebody had to deal with the dead. Pay their fee or they would leave the diseased bodies in the streets and homes. They would drink and whore all night and if you owed them money they'd come to your house and beat you with shovels. They were called the becchini and their motto was "Those who live in fear die." Which is relevant in this day and age.

Seven years ago I was an interesting person. Now I am a corpse. Yes, madam, I am finished. My star has fallen. I work and I try, yet know that all is but a farce ... I await the end of the tragedy and—strangely detached from everything—I do not feel any more an actor. I feel I am the last of spectators.
-Benito Mussolini, 1945
