30. Leonarda Cianciulli
Her nickname sounds harmless enough: The Soap-Maker of Correggio. However, Leonarda Cianciulli had quite a bit of blood on her hands. What she did with her victims only makes her story all the more stomach-turning. It all began when Cianciulli’s beloved son was sent to join the Italian army
Cianciulli was desperate to keep her son safe and convinced herself that she could ensure that he remained out of harm’s way by making sacrifices. Human sacrifices.
