Subject:   What happened in Abruzzo in 1818??????

Salve!
Recently I was researching 1818 in my father's town of Mutignano / Pineto. There were an extraordinary number of deaths that year (4 to 5 times the usual). Entire families were dying. Was there an epidemic or some type of health emergency? The deaths were happening pretty consistently each month. Any input would be appreciated. Grazie!
