The Black Death, which ravaged Europe from 1347 to 1352, started in Central Asia. It caused widespread death and suffering in India and Persia before it reached Europe. It spread through Europe over the next five years, and killed large numbers of people in almost the entire continent. There were small areas in northern Italy, including Milan, where it was not so destructive, another such area was in the mountain villages of the Pyrenees, and there was a large area in Poland that escaped it. During this time there were also widespread deaths in the Middle East and North Africa.

There is an animated map at the link below, where its progress can be seen as it moved through Europe.
