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. https://historyhustle.com/giulia-tofana/

Anazp: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. |

FreeIgbos:Uncouth slowpoke no one wants to associate with your narcissistic tribe.Igbos in Delta and Rivers have rejected Eastern igbos.They will rather join Ijaw region,Edo/Urhobo or Efik/Ibibio region. |
Kundagarten: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. Itshekiri and Akoko edo will be part of Yorubaland. |
gidgiddy: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. https://www.thecable.ng/abused-decree-34-and-the-demand-for-restructuring/amp

kmcutez:The greed of Igbos and Fulanis destroyed Nigeria after the First and countercoup by Igbos and fulani military. The Military from these ethnic groups destroyed Nigeria only to cry and curse lugard all the time. |
gidgiddy:Britain created regional government like they practised in England.Igbos destroyed Nigeria with greed not Lugard nor Britain. |

vasel15: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. |
blackpanda:Dont mind them,Igbos are attachee by force. |
vasel15: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) |
Regex:Reminds me of two tribes in Nigeria. |
Starcrest1:By way of deception, thou shalt do war. |
Starcrest1: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, White us black and black is white.Appearance is different from reality. Have you wondered why they quickly buried him in the water? Nothing of sort ever happened.Check out illuminati card game 1995 on the new world order https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.news.com.au/technology/home-entertainment/gaming/outofprint-conspiracy-card-game-from-1994-that-predicted-911-sees-renewed-popularity-amid-covid19/news-story/aa7a7e43202fbd12de70f39af14269b9

niggadee:Obasanjo is a snake,sunday should be careful with him.That was how Obasanjo visited the Boko haram leader them who was murdered few days after his visit by security forces.Obasanjo is a mole for fulanis. |
Koiki be ready to burn down Nigerian embassy in United kingdom. |
Kobojunkie:In The world,once a precedent is set,history will keep repeating itself till the end of time. |
IJOBA11:We are westerners not Northerners. |
Starcrest1:You dont understand how the world works,there is something in the military called clearing.Lets say you are an informant to the military,the military can kill the informant who knows too much about them when they have no use for him any more same with the Elites and the political class. |
Starcrest1:Unfortunately the major sponsors of jihadists today is America,Israel,Britain,Saudi Arabia and The EU. |
kb83: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. |

It's official: How to train F ûlani terrorists in the wilderness Our leader has discovered a watch clip that is circulating on social media where terrorists train Fulani to continue doing to the masses. The poor in Nigeria must raise his hand and thank God, not for him because no one cares about him except God. Yesterday Fulani terrorists entered a village in Sabon Birni in Sokoto, killed three villagers (three people); Abdulsalam, Abdullahi Ƙwari, Shamsu. May God help us. We are begging since but the government of Fulani is silent because they are their brothers. https://www.facebook.com/102789498208725/posts/354963929657946/?vh=e
