It is more likely that the plague originally entered Europe via the Genoese trade route. Historical accounts suggest that the Black Death, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, spread to Europe in the mid-14th century, primarily through ships traveling from the Black Sea. Genoese merchants, who had trading connections in the region, played a significant role in the transmission of the disease, particularly after the siege of Caffa. While Venice was also a major trading hub, the evidence points more strongly to Genoese routes as the initial entry point for the plague in Europe.
