Manage episode 478702733 series 3614282
She was born unwanted in the shadows of Montella, Italy. Raised in resentment, shaped by superstition, and fueled by a desperation only a mother could understand—Leonarda Cianciulli didn’t just believe in sacrifice. She embraced it. In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, unravel the twisted legacy of the woman history would call The Soap Maker of Correggio. From a childhood steeped in trauma to a murderous obsession with protecting her children, Leonarda turned her victims into soap and tea cakes—and believed she had to. Explore the folklore, the fear, the delusions, and the deadly convictions of a woman who believed blood was a fair price for fate.
