The impact of plague was not devastating but it has changed the social, economic and religious structure of Italy. Due to the high mortality rate, many monks perished and the Church was founding it hard to recruit at the same rate. Secondly, the authority of the Church was not the same as before this plague. The labor shortage roused the wages of the limited workers thus prosperity prevailed following the years of black death. There was high social mobility and old tradition lost grip with the plague. The background has enough space for the Italian Renaissance to take place.
