Answer 1

1- The living conditions in Verona became extremely harsh because of the war and the aftermath. Work was scarce and it was hard to earn money even after the war had ended and they had peace at last.
2- 'We' refers to the hospital-staff (doctors, nurses, etc.) because they took fees from Nicola and Jacopo for the treatment they were providing.
3- Lucia's brothers Nicola and Jacopo made regular payments to the hospital because their sister Lucia was being treated in that hospital as she was suffering from Tuberculosis of the Spine.
