“It was a pretty solid plan” I’m dead💀😂 literally Giulia was a extremely smart woman. It’s very interesting to hear about how she went to the extent to keep her cover and to help these women in abusive situation. Kinda respect her hustle😂

I wanted to be a history teacher for this reason. Yeah, I would have to teach required lessons, but I know so many cool stories that I can sneak in. I changed that when I was in education classes in college though.
You want stories or facts? If you want facts in history class, stop rewriting history books and stop pulling down statues over hurt feelings, go to school, travel and learn a bit. Most people not wealthy in Renaissance Italy were named by the place they were from; Leonardo da Vinci, or Leo of Venice, is an example. If anyone named this existed it was probably Guilia de Tofana (Tofana is a place in the Tofane region of the Dolomites.) We will never know if she really did exist because religion ruled, books were burned and history was changed to make people happy, but one thing is clear; a rumor was enough to make men start treating their wives a little better for a few decades.
I know it’s been 3 years since this was posted, but I just wanted to say that it’s STILL my all time favorite MMM. I love them all, but this one is still number one. ☝️
Hi, Italian here! Just wanted to point out why disguising Acqua Tofana as manna of Saint Nicholas was particularly smart. Saint Nicholas is believed to be the protector of young women preparing for marriage, so we can say Giulia was indeed doing the saint's job!👀
Giulia is an icon, and the soup lady is the villain in this story 🤣 I mean she saved her husband's life just so he could turn her in to be tortured and probably executed
You should do Paulette's story, the Mexican girl that one day disappeared and later in a week she was found under her bed (the bed where her mom gave a bunch on interviews crying asking for her to be found).
You've encouraged me to take an interest in true crime. So much that in the fall I'm going into college and majoring in forensic science biology!! Love ur vids!!
I got burned out on crime shows bc they take forever to get to the point, and they repeat information over and over, trying to create cliffhangers.

Honestly it’s sick how woman have been treated over the year. Men literally created a diagnosis “hysteria” for the purpose of being able to admit wives/woman that wouldn’t comply.
Right now picture a million times horrific the treatment not only being a woman but being colored thats y long ago men killed native indians because their wives and families ran to them seeking love n protection
@@valenciawilson1414 are you saying Europeans killed natives because *European* wives and families went to native men for love? Because if so I’m sorry but that’s just categorically wrong. It was much more likely that European men would marry native women, but even that wasn’t super common because of European perceptions of natives
Sometimes women perpetuate this abuse. Especially these days. Date abusers, don't care about protecting themselves, stay in abusive marriages and wonder why things are bad. I really miss the times of strong women who don't take BS. Like we are literally in control the world but we act like victims.
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 depending on how psychotic your abuser is, leaving can be THE most dangerous time for people running from abusive relationships. Also, abuse tends to be gradual, and starts with isolation of the victim to remove their support network and financial independence, which makes it much harder to go when you have children, no friends or family that you 'think' you can rely on, no money, and fear for your life, the lives of your children, and those of friends and family that you still may have any contact with.
Went to Rome on my honeymoon. On one of our walking tours we got to see (from the street) the home of this person. First I ever heard of it. They talked about her with pride.
This is maybe the 3rd time I've watched this video in the last 2 years, and I think it's still one of my favorite. I just love a woman who continued to strike fear into mens' hearts even after her death. 🥰
Being someone who was in an extremely abusive relationship where he put me on a ventilator for 2 months , I’ll take a T-shirt with her name and a heart on it please,,, and being able to get out of a marriage and getting out of an abusive one are totally different

What if Giulia wasn’t a real person but more of a code name, like, “you should talk to my friend Giulia if you need help with your husband”. Which would mean anybody could be Giulia, it would also explain how “she” did it for so long without being caught and how it got to so many men. 🤷🏻♀️
@@totesmegoatscrystal9688 listen, so how sad does that just make the criminal system? Women hardly get help with domestic, and men even less. It's not something to get mad at each other about, but rather to be mad at our criminal system.

11:50 Lucrezia Borgia didn't just come from a wealthy family, she was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), so the fact that even SHE died in childbirth proves how horrific it used to be for women back in those days

@@theuniverseisme432 …yeah, I am aware. My comment never mentioned anything about abuse. I just said that childbirth was incredibly deadly at the time and even having all the resources in the world wouldn’t make it any less dangerous. Women were putting themselves in danger by having kids
I know what the people truly want, so here’s a list time-stamping every time she says “aqua tofana” 2:25 • 6:53 • 9:11 • 17:48 • 25:53 • 28:50 • 29:49 • 30:46 *feel free to put a time-stamp on any I miss in the comments 👌🏼*
4:27 funfact: “divorce” was a thing in the renaissance. it’s better known as “anullment” and it’s still a thing today. it’s mainly used by catholics because The Church is against breaking the seventh sacrament of marriage. a couple back then in the 16th century could get an anullment based off one of two reasons: 1. a wife’s infidelity (a man can have as many sidechicks as he likes bc he’s a man but if a woman were to even LOOK at another man in any “romantic” or “lustful” fashion, she could be accused of cheating and the husband could sue her, end the marriage and tarnish her reputation.) and 2. the husband is impotent. (yeah he can have sidechicks, but if he can’t get it up when fornicating with his wife and she can prove it...he might as well be an empty bottle of wine- useless.) infamously, lucrezia borgia was able to anull her marriage to her first husband, giovanni sforza by claiming that he was impotent.
Steph it is, but it’s just as important by renaissance standards. infertility was “a woman’s problem” because she was the one popping out the babies. have you looked up renaissance remedies for impotence & infertility? they’re wild!

There is a thing called "damnatio memoriae", which means 'damnation of memory'. It's a punishment from ancient Rome, where everything about the person was destroyed, so she could never be remembered in history. They believed that being forgotten is worst than just being executed. Maybe that's why there are no portraits and people don't know about her.

The way they killed the men was so slow...all I can think is to go through with that plan you must really be suffering in your relationship. :(
It also looks much less suspicious. If it was quick, more murdery looking.
No the women felt better because it being a slow dying death gave the men time to ask for forgiveness before death.

Right now picture a million times horrific the treatment not only being a woman but being colored thats y long ago men killed native indians because their wives and families ran to them seeking love n protection
@@valenciawilson1414 are you saying Europeans killed natives because *European* wives and families went to native men for love? Because if so I’m sorry but that’s just categorically wrong. It was much more likely that European men would marry native women, but even that wasn’t super common because of European perceptions of natives
Sometimes women perpetuate this abuse. Especially these days. Date abusers, don't care about protecting themselves, stay in abusive marriages and wonder why things are bad. I really miss the times of strong women who don't take BS. Like we are literally in control the world but we act like victims.
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 depending on how psychotic your abuser is, leaving can be THE most dangerous time for people running from abusive relationships. Also, abuse tends to be gradual, and starts with isolation of the victim to remove their support network and financial independence, which makes it much harder to go when you have children, no friends or family that you 'think' you can rely on, no money, and fear for your life, the lives of your children, and those of friends and family that you still may have any contact with.
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 abusive relationships often include manipulation and isolation. you CANNOT run if you wanted to.
Went to Rome on my honeymoon. On one of our walking tours we got to see (from the street) the home of this person. First I ever heard of it. They talked about her with pride.
As they should!
So its true mind you London's got sherlock Holmes house
How do they know what house it is if she done it secretly?
@@jamie-leighgibson2338 probably from journals and writings
That’s awesome!!!! She was an amazing woman! 👑
This is maybe the 3rd time I've watched this video in the last 2 years, and I think it's still one of my favorite. I just love a woman who continued to strike fear into mens' hearts even after her death. 🥰

This is one of my favourite MMM episodes. I randomly say "Aqua Tofana" all the time lol.
Because history is told by men few people know about her, yet she was one of the greatest liberators of women
@@bhekadlamini4026 such a badass woman, I love her
Also, the fact that they tried to erase her from history and yet she is still remembered and talked about. Love it.
Giulia was a hero and that shouldn’t be up for debate, she saved thousands of women, im glad you talked about her :)
Honestly.. agreed
This is a solid fact. Who do we talk to about getting this woman sainted
@@brandimaddox6786
I'm naming my first born after her....
hope it's a girl. Otherwise, I'ma have to teach my SON, Giulia....how to fight.
Sometimes when my boyfriend acts up, I just whisper "aqua tofana" and he looks at me like I'm crazy.
Lol
🤣😂
Just to clarify, we didnt have soup or anything. He's fine. 😂

When Bailey tells us to get better idols, she means Giulia :')
For some reason the main person in this story didn't come to mind when i read your comment, but ReadyToGlare 😂
@@cheepymcpeepy Honestly, she is also a great idol, I love her!
😅
😜
The lady felt so guilty and got beaten up and most likely killed. She saved her husband and got tortured
Being someone who was in an extremely abusive relationship where he put me on a ventilator for 2 months , I’ll take a T-shirt with her name and a heart on it please,,, and being able to get out of a marriage and getting out of an abusive one are totally different
I hope you're doing better.
I’m so sorry you went through that experience
I'm glad you got.out of that relationship. Hope you came out strong.. 💪🏻💪🏻
Wait- What's A Ventilator
@@Artsynics its a machine that helps patients breathe by manually pushing oxygen in and out of the lungs via a tube :( it’s for patients in usually pretty poor condition who aren’t able to breathe properly (or at all)
She's extremely smart in planning the whole scheme, from the poison dosage to 'how you act' after the target's death. Wow.😯👏👏 Credits to her.
Wheels up to wheels down 🛬
What if Giulia wasn’t a real person but more of a code name, like, “you should talk to my friend Giulia if you need help with your husband”. Which would mean anybody could be Giulia, it would also explain how “she” did it for so long without being caught and how it got to so many men. 🤷🏻♀️
EXCELLENT theory. It would explain why people still felt the presence of it in their communities after her death 🤷♀️
I should say 'her'.
Would definitely make sense.
ooo makes sense !
like a Coven of Vigilantes.
I’m in pharmacy school currently and this is inspirational
I’m behind every woman who killed their husband for abusing her
Sounds like self defense to me
I'm behind anyone who kills anyone that is abusing them.
I'm not

me: AS SHE SHOLD!!!!!!
I was abused by my mother growing up for years. Should the same rules apply to mothers and wives that abuse their kids and husbands?
When she said “men didn’t get punished for abusing their wives back then” I said “huh funny how not much changes sis” 😂😂😂😂
Same
Actually men get way worse charges for domestic abuse then women do for the same crime.
@@totesmegoatscrystal9688 listen, so how sad does that just make the criminal system? Women hardly get help with domestic, and men even less. It's not something to get mad at each other about, but rather to be mad at our criminal system.
@@SuperAmberAttack I definitely agree,most men aren't helped with domestic abuse and it's the same for women except people are more likely to help the woman. It's sad but that's how it is,but we shouldn't fight over that :/
A lot has changed
Bailey: she got slapped...
Me: oh dang! He knew it was poison

idc if domestic abusers died by aqua tofana. she was a hero and no one can convince me otherwise. there’s a movie about her coming out in 2023 too!
Clearly no one here is going to convince with you otherwise. We all agree to you
Oooh, what's the movie called?
The fact that I am now in Italy and my neighbour's name is " Gianna tofana " Is so funny, lol.
Tomatoes cauliflower maybe don’t go there for supper or beauty tips. 😂
@@lexxfrost798 yeah, maybe...but I'm still going to drink some coffee with her because she makes a precious coffee and I could die for it. ( She actually owns a shop where she sells perfumes, lol )

The Dixie chicks have a song called Goodbye Earl about girlfriends saving their girl from a hubby who put her in the ICU. He goes ‘MIA’.
11:50 Lucrezia Borgia didn't just come from a wealthy family, she was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), so the fact that even SHE died in childbirth proves how horrific it used to be for women back in those days
Yes it's even MORE horrible to know how sexist and entitled females can be and not be acknowledge compassion and accepted of men who are abused by evil women!
Its not a walk in the park for most women now lol but a lot better
This is due to a lack of medicinal knowledge, not because women were abused
@@theuniverseisme432 …yeah, I am aware. My comment never mentioned anything about abuse. I just said that childbirth was incredibly deadly at the time and even having all the resources in the world wouldn’t make it any less dangerous. Women were putting themselves in danger by having kids
Sorry Los Borgias where a very important family in the history of Spain and Italy.
Legend says, if you whisper Aqua Tefana in the mirror 3 times Bailey will appear and do your makeup.
And sing her intro song to you

BUSINESS IDEA: Skincare brand called Aqua Tofana, and donate a portion of profits to domestic abuse survivors 🙌
ABSOLUTELY. I'm adding that to the bucket list.
I LOOOOOOVE this!!!!
That is such an amazing idea!
That is the sweetest thought 💭
This is actually so valid I love the idea
I think Giulia, her daughter, her employees, her clients....all went to heaven.
Absolutely. Beautiful way to think of it.
I got so mad when that lady told her husband. I've never rooted for someone in one of these MMM

funfact: “divorce” was a thing in the renaissance. it’s better known as “anullment” and it’s still a thing today. it’s mainly used by catholics because The Church is against breaking the seventh sacrament of marriage. a couple back then in the 16th century could get an anullment based off one of two reasons: 1. a wife’s infidelity (a man can have as many sidechicks as he likes bc he’s a man but if a woman were to even LOOK at another man in any “romantic” or “lustful” fashion, she could be accused of cheating and the husband could sue her, end the marriage and tarnish her reputation.) and 2. the husband is impotent. (yeah he can have sidechicks, but if he can’t get it up when fornicating with his wife and she can prove it...he might as well be an empty bottle of wine- useless.) infamously, lucrezia borgia was able to anull her marriage to her first husband, giovanni sforza by claiming that he was impotent.
Didn’t they assume the woman was infertile? Even in the 20th Century people didn’t know a man was capable of being infertile
But anullment was very difficult to achieve. Kinda here for guilia
Steph it is, but it’s just as important by renaissance standards. infertility was “a woman’s problem” because she was the one popping out the babies. have you looked up renaissance remedies for impotence & infertility? they’re wild!
TatzRules Yay right. i always forget that bit. thanks for the add-on. :)
Dani Stark my personal favorite is the canal+ adaptation. “borgia: faith & fear” i prefer it over the showtime programme.
