The Poisoning Lover in Renaissance Rome
In early seventeenth century Rome a Florentine poisoner Lorenzo Luccese pursued Bianca Ranzine while her fiancé Ricardo Mantel died suddenly. Demetrio, Bianca’s new fiancé, tracked Luccese after noticing needle punctures on him and a friend. Luccese was captured, found with poisons and needles, tried and executed. Bianca later wed Demetrio, but the shadow of murder lingered.
