Today we dust off the records and scrolls of the Vatican, to get to the bottom of who the historical Giulia Tofana was. We also visit the ‘criminal magical underworld’ of 17th Century Europe, and I want to stay there forever.

This is Part 2 of La Tofania, legendary poisoner, beauty maven, and Momager.

Giulia Tofana ran a very successful poison ring in 17th Century Italy, and her legend is still talked about today. She is called a martyr for abused women and an early feminist. But the folklore that swirls around her memory is full of disinformation and tall tales.

Yes, she really did kill people. Over 600 men, allegedly. But was she a patron saint of the abused? Which parts of her story are real, and which have been exaggerated over time?

Today we dive in to the story of La Tofania, and extract the truth from this whole sordid saga ,that spans three generations of women in the same family. We also discuss the Kylie Lip Kit of 17th Century Rome which was Giulia’s infamous Aqua Tofana. This story is insane, ya’ll. Oh and there’s a special cameo by Messy Boots Mozart, so there’s that.

Today is the conclusion of this twisted and bloody tale! We will discuss the link between lycanthropy and lunar cycles, historical cases of lycanthropy, Peter Stumpp in popular culture, werewolves in the media, and all the possible theories of what the fuck was happening in this case, including the one I believe is closest to the truth.

This is Part 3 of the Werewolf of Bedburg.
