Episode 42, La Tofania – Serial Killer or Heroine? Part 2

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.
