Episode 14: The Soapmaker of Italy (Leonarda Cianciulli, La Soponificatrice di Corregio)
What do you get when you cross a paranoid Italian mother with nothing to lose, sprinkle on a little blood magic, and three easily manipulated neighbors? Probably one of the most sensationalized cases in Italian true crime (and one which you likely haven't heard of), Behn and Carls bring you the story of "La saponificatrice di Corregio," Leonarda Cianciulli, "the soapmaker." In this possibly delicious episode, we speak for Ermelinda Faustina Setti (a lonely spinster pensioner), Francesca Clementina Soavi (a middle aged school teacher), and Virginia Cacioppo (a once lauded soprano opera singer, pining for her faded days of glory).
