They were affected by Black Death, but to a far lesser degree.

In Milan, it's speculated they avoided huge die offs by aggressive precautions, such as sealing up possible plague victims and their immediate neigbours. So not just the victims, but those who may have come in contact were isolated.

Krakow was affected by Black Death, but again, did not see a wholesale die off. However, in 1360, there was a massacre of the Jews, sparked by rumours the plague was caused by them. Historians aren't completely sure why Poland was spared the worst of the plague. Some think it may have something to do with Poland not being a centre for mass travel (unlike Venice, London, Paris etc). It was not on major trade routes, traditional lines the plague travelled alone.

Again, historians aren't 100% sure why both seemed to have been largely spared.
