What impact did the black death have on Messina?
In 1347 a Genoese ship from Caffa, on the Black Sea, came ashore at Messina, Sicily. The crew of the ship, what few were left alive, carried with them a deadly cargo, a disease so virulent that it could kill in a matter of hours. It is thought that the disease originated in the Far East, and was spread along major trade routes to Caffa, where Genoa had an established trading post. When it became clear that ships from the East carried the plague, Messina closed its port.

Who had the black plague?
Anybody could get the black plague. It was more prominent in London, however there were a few cases reported in China and the East in the 1330's. It reached Europe at about 1347 when a trading ship (the closest you can get to a real ghost ship) arrived in the Italian port of Messina with most of their crew already dead or dying. The plague hit England by 1348 and Russia and Scandinavia by 1351.It spread quickly to all people. The hardest hit people were the clergy. This was to be expected since the clergy were called to the bed sides of the dead and dying.A disgusting fact...in 1346 Tarters who had besieged the Christian-held city of Caffa in the Crimea loaded their catapults with the bodies of plague victims and threw them into the city!! Needless to say, the Italian merchants inside Caffa abandoned the city and fled...unfortunately on rat-infested ships to no where other than Europe.(Information received by: The Mental Floss History of the World by Erik Sass and Steve Wiegand.
