CrimeGiulia Tofana,the Mysterious Woman Who Helped Wives Kill Abusive Husbands by cocolacec(op): 8:13pm On Aug 09, 2021
Giulia Tofana, The Mysterious Woman Who Helped Wives Kill Abusive Husbands

If History, Marriage, and Women were people who happened to be roommates, that room would not be a fun one, especially if they lived in 17th Century Italy.

Back then, women were often sent into marriage when they were mere teenagers. This meant that wives were not viewed as life partners but mostly servants and child-rearing machines.

If your husband was a good guy, then you were lucky. If not, then you might have to endure years of abuse without any consequence.

In most situations like these, death was the only way out for these women. But not their own death.

No, not at all.

This is where Giulia Tofana stepped in. For many women in the 17th century, she held the solution to all their problems in a tiny bottle. A few drops over a couple of days, and the job was done.

The story of Giulia is a tricky one. There are so many different accounts that it’s hard to know which one is most accurate.

First, we’ll look at the commonly told story, and then I will offer some of the alternative stories from other sources, and then you can decide which one you want to go with.

The Popular Version

Giulia Tofana was a badass Sicilian woman who created Aqua Tofana in the early 17th Century while living and working in Palermo. With Aqua Tofana, women didn’t need ten days to lose their guys. A few drops could kill a man in 4 to 6 days.

The tasteless and odourless nature of the poison meant nothing could be traced back to the women. The main ingredient is said to be Arsenic. The death was slow and gradual in a way that a post mortem couldn’t pin the cause.

The first few drops only cause some weakness and exhaustion. Stomach aches, Vomiting and Dysentery, followed after the second dose. With the third dose, the light at the tunnel got brighter for these men as they got closer to the pearly gates.

It was a nice way to go because the men had time to get their house in order and repent from their sins before meeting their maker. I’m assuming domestic violence is one of the sins.

For Giulia and her clients, slow and steady…killed the husband before winning the race.
The abuse wasn’t the only reason these wives were turning into femme Fatales. For some, it was just a quick way to get hold of their husband’s estate. Poison back then was called “inheritance powders.”

What a great name.

Giulia Tofana’s life of crime caught up with her when one woman snitched on the whole operation.

Giulia and her crew were captured, tortured, and later executed in Campo de’ Fiori in 1659. A lot of her customers were executed with her. Between 1633 and 1651, Giulia’s poison is said to have killed about 600 men, but who’s counting?

Giulia Tofana didn’t go out without a celebrity on her list.

Mozart, on his death bed, while working on his last requiem said these words:

“I feel definitely,” he continued, “that I will not last much longer; I am sure that I have been poisoned. I cannot rid myself of this idea… Someone has given me acqua tofana and calculated the precise time of my death.”

This makes me angry a little bit because I blast Mozart every time I write (like right now), so it feels like Giulia robbed me of more awesome music but, I digress.

Other versions

Let’s look at some of the alternative stories about Giulia.

Some scholars and information from different sources claim there are some inconsistencies in the popular story.

PoliticsRe: How Much Does The South East Contribute To Nigeria's GDP? by cocolacec(m): 6:38pm On Aug 09, 2021
Anazp:
All this noise about a lockdown every Monday in the south east. Can it really hurt Nigeria? Even if the south east goes on lockdown every day will it hurt other parts of Nigeria? I mean the southeast was on a lockdown for 3 years during the civil war and Nigeria's economy still was at it's best. There was so much revenue and following the civil war lockdown in the South East- an oil boom!!!

So to you South easterners. If you like Lock down for life it will only hurt you. So be wise. You don't produce nothing, not food no banks nothing. The north and the Nigeria delta plus south west are the main stays of the Nigerian economy. Use your head.

Na hunger go wire only una
Point of correction only South west and South south feeds Nigeria.If these two region experience turmoil,Nigeria goes down.North and the South east contribute little to Nigeria’s GDP.

Nigerian youths should advocate for a return to a regional ststem of govt not secession because secession will lead to massive bloodshed.Regional govt is what our founding fathers agreed to before Igbos and fulani took over through the use of miltary violence.

Not true. The person who destroyed Regional government was Gowon when he started creating states
Aguiyi Ironsi abolished regional govt.Gowon only continued from Ironsi’s decree.
Yorubas have continued to clamour for a return to regional govt.The igbos and fulani refuses to go back to the agreed system of govt by the founding fathers.

Just look at that map carefully and see the baggage that southern Nigeria is carrying, imagine the south in one country, we for they pick money for ground. Lol
Yorubas dont want to be in the same country with Igbos,tufiakwa.Britain created 10 regions for Nigeria.3 regions were established at independence with a recommendation to create more regions,5 in the North and 3 in the South.
Only midwest region was created.Igbos and fulanis refused to create further regions in their domain.
The igbos went on a killling spree of Yoruba,fulani,middle belt,midwest leaders through a military coup in 1966 until the fulani counter coup dealt with them .I really dont know why Yorubas never did a counter coup to cage these greedy tribes.(Fulanis and Igbos)
The Igbos created the hate for themselves in Nigeria and no one will associate with Igbos until they tender an apology to all the tribes whose leaders were killed in the January 1966 spearheaded by Nzeogwu.

I was thinking of something the white men are not so smart after all, if I was the British I would have created 2 countries because Nigeria is too big to be run by one tribe

They should have created 2 countries from southern and northern Nigeria, in fact, God already perfectly divided it, south and north, they should have created one country name it whatever, and then create another one for the middle belters and Northerners in one country and Yorubas and the rest of the southeast one country, they goofed, if they did we won't be having this issues now, think about it, even if the North is barren the white men can perform wonders, Switzerland doesn't have oil and gas like southern Nigeria, so the North would still work fine, and south in one country would have been richer than America, shame on Britain

https://www.biafranboys.org/nigerian-problembritain-should-have
The brits created Regional govts and divided Nigeria into 3:Western,Northern and Eastern regions.These regions were to be further divided into 10 regions after independence.

Fulani and Igbos scuffled this idea and igbos came in the backdoor to kill other regional leaders only to abolish the system all tribes in Nigeria agreed to.(Regional govt)

Yorubas and Igbos can never be in the sane country because it will only be another Nigeria.Take a clue from Europe(Danes and Swedes are in different countries because they use to kill each other in the 18-19th century.)
The fulani had a counter coup to take control of what Igbos started in 1966 (creating a strong central govt)

What is INFJ?

I had a housemate/friend who is a narc. He suffers from victim syndrome. Thinks everyone is after him. The very youngest but wants to control the house. The perfect chameleon, you will never suspect. Dude is very vengeful and that will be his undoing.


I started being indifferent to him, and it killed him. He usually disturbs the whole house with music, one day he came out the back of the house with his phone playing music right under my window, I had my window closed due to the cold, omo, I opened it wide to get some air, I noticed the music didn't last 2 minutes and he went inside.


Then I realized, normally when he plays his music so loud, other people shut their windows, and he continues to play it even louder, that means his aim is to disturb. I guess me opening my windows told him, I am enjoying the music...

Anywho, they're the worst set of people to have anything to do with. If you don't align with them, you are an enemy. If they can't control you, you are enemy. Always the victim yet the 100% perpetrator.
Reminds me of two tribes in Nigeria.

You saying a different thing entirely and relating it to Osama's case. Osama was a CIA asset quite alright but he wasn't killed because he knew too much, on the contrary he used the too much he knew to destroy America.

And America had to kill him because he attacked them not because he knew to much.
Osama bin laden was only a bogeyman he died long before America claimed to kill him.Before 9/11 Prince sang in a music concert that Osama bin laden was getting ready to bomb(CIA bomb the towers)Govts are responsible for terrorist attacks not what they make you believe on media.Same situation in Nigeria with herdsmen saga.It is a means to change society,perception and profer their elite implementatiom of their desired agenda,

Even Islam did worse than the crusaders in the olden days but the difference is that christianity dropped all those things and came out reformed while Islam is still wallowing in violence up till today.

Comparing The Church and this current terrorist Boko Ha ram is Unfair, At least the Church gave you a chance to accept or be killed, however Boko Ha ram bombs people en mass with no chance to say yes or no to their religion.
The church did the same and bible was used to justify these atrocities.During spanish inquistion,christian converts were killed because they were believed not to be genuine christians.

The old and Present muslims(ISIS)day learnt fighting for God from European christians.These jihadis are sponsored by Europe to commit these atrocities on native population.
Both are two sides of the same coin.
It will surprise you Israel was airlifting ISIS fighters for treatment in Israel.Germany used muslims in the 2nd world war to fight jihad,they simply bribed the Imans to brainwashed followers to join the fight.
Religion is a rich/elite mans trick to play on the intelligence and mind of the masses.
Fighting for God is a scam,religion ever promoted.
