we dive into the chilling and mysterious history of Aqua Tofana—a deadly poison that quietly haunted 17th-century Italy. Said to be undetectable, tasteless, and odorless, this lethal concoction was reportedly created by Giulia Tofana and distributed to women desperate to escape abusive marriages in a time when divorce was not an option.
We explore the woman behind the formula, the whispered network of apothecaries and midwives that helped it spread, and the cultural and social conditions that turned poison into power. Was Giulia Tofana a cold-blooded murderer or a misunderstood feminist icon? And how did Aqua Tofana go from secret weapon to legend?
