Tangisode: Aqua Tofana - The Story of Giulia Tofana
from Dressed for the Grave · host Melissa Barney and Noelle Gordon
In this Tangisode, we dive into the dark legend of Giulia Tofana and the infamous poison known as Aqua Tofana, a deadly mixture rumored to have helped hundreds of women escape abusive marriages in 17th-century Italy. Disguised among cosmetics and vanity bottles, the poison became one of history's most chilling symbols of desperation, survival, and quiet rebellion.
