Leonarda Cianciulli: the soap maker of Correggio
Om avsnittet
In 1930s Italy, amid war and superstition, Leonarda Cianciulli was known as a kind neighbour, a devoted mother, and a talented soap-maker. But behind her tidy kitchen walls, she was hiding something unimaginable.
Driven by fear and belief in a deadly curse, Leonarda convinced herself that human sacrifice was the only way to save her son’s life. Over two years, three women vanished — their bodies never found, their remains turned into cakes and soap.
This is the horrifying true story of the woman who claimed she killed out of love, not hate. A tale of superstition, obsession, and the darkest corners of the human mind.
