Aqua Tofana (or how to poison your husband) (ep. 15.11)
from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts
It's spooky season and this is my third annual Halloween episode! It's the story of Aqua Tofana, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and utterly deadly poison invented by a network of female poisoners in 17th century Italy. The music is from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, recorded by The Wichita State University Chamber Players with John Harrison on Violin and Robert Turizziani and as Conductor. The recording is licensed under the Creative Commons and available under the classicals.de website. Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.
