Bailey Sarian did an exccellent video on Giulia Tofana. She's one of the few serial killers in history you can kinda empathize with, especially as a woman. She wasn't helping people kill a ton of men because she got off on it, she was trying to rescue her fellow women stuck in what was usually incredibly absuive relationships. Something she knew about first hand. She was probably a hero to many women who won their freedoms (at least for a while) because of her. She obviously made a huge amount of money, but she likely saved as many lives as she vicariously claimed, so it's hard to outright dismss her as a monster like you would Bundy or Gacy. I know she's classified as a serial killer, but at the same time it doesn't seem like she got her rocks off on it so much as she wanted to help women and make money at the same time. I'm not condoning all the times she's murdered people by any means, but we've all seen or heard of cases where it seems like the only way someone so evil will stop is if they are stopped....so enter Gilulia Tofana. If women were allowed to leave their husbands then Giulia Tofana probably would have an entirely different (and less deadly) side hustle.
@@iDvnKTV yes with murder! If someone steals you and sells you into sexual slacery for your biological father benefit, you are infact allowed to defend yourself, until your assailant escalates the issue till it results in their death.
“Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.”
@@Muggashyte right? Hers is speculation, whereas his is the documented. Granted, historians say between 80,000 and 100,000 but 80,000 is the minimum number that most subscribe to. I mean, it is proven that he killed over 20,000 Turks at one time.
After reading the title, two things came to mind: 1)My first name has Aqua in Aquanna 2)May re-binge watching Bailey Sarian's Murder Mystery and Makeup Monday series today Thanks weird History
Being a domestic violence survivor, I can understand how women thought Aqua Tofana was the only way to survive. Italian women in that time didn't have any rights. I call it self-defense.
Having grown up around an abusive NPD/BPD mother who would routinely fabricate reasons to hate me, her own mother, and damn near anyone who spent time near her, this story is terrifying. I don't doubt many of the women were in the predicament you describe... but I have zero doubt that far from all of them were.
10:43 I am not certain..but some of the fashion in the film Amadeus seems like that of the Macaroni fashion trend. That Weird History video "The Ridiculous History of Macaroni Fashion" is such a great video!
2:53 That reminds me of the apothecary Monsieur Homais in the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. That is one of my favorite books. It was one of Time Magazine's 10 Greatest Books of All Time.
The lady in the right of the thumbnail is from Leonardo da Vinci’s 'La Belle Ferronniere'. I have a magnet of the exact painting on my fridge from The Louvre, from when I went to the Leonardo exhibit.
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal! This time eating COCO PEBBLES* cereal and drinking Folger's Classic Roast coffee^...while watching this Weird History video! *Why Was the 80s the Golden Age For Sugary Cereals? ^Incredible Things Coffee Does To Your Body
5:21 I will have to check out the Stevie Nick's album Bella Donna. Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands, but I haven't listened to much of the solo music from the individual members.
I like to think of her as a kind of an activist for women's rights. She helped a lot of women find a way out of abusive marriages, when no one else lifted a finger to help.
women were literally no better than slaves at that time- even asking if this woman was criminal is inappropriate framing. Would we question if slave rebellions were actually fighting for justice or if they were just violent criminals? No. We literally wouldn't even entertain that framing.
Since I have seen the second thumbnail recommendation at the end of the video, I am going to watch the first one and "Simo Häyhä | The Deadliest Sniper In Military History"
Aqua toufanna!!!! 💖💝💖 This lady was a vigilante especially in a time where we were no more than cheap property that you could do anything you wanted and get away with it ... She saved more lives than she ended I give you that !
tone & overall vibe of this when talking bout men being abusive in relationships (+ women feeling trapped cuz no true legal or social rights) is hella dismissive, invalidating & rude. abuse in any relationship (any gender etc) is real, our fear is real. do better (accept perspective) or cope & seethe 4ever
This channel sees things thru humor. You might want to try it. I know abuse isn't funny but you have to have humor to survive this crazy life. Hugs, lots of hugs, from an AZ grandma 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

The woman who chickened out and got everyone else killed is the true villain in this story. 😡
Omg same opinion here.
init . though you sound like someone who would rather like Aqua Tofana to still be available
@@freyaMcPhilli there's other poisons out there lol. i agree though because her cowardice cost others and HERSELF their lives
((whispers in my Bailey Sarian voice)) Aqua Tofanaaaaaaa
Hot damn, yeah! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is the comment I was looking for!!
😂😂😂 right LOL hahaha😂😂
What I was thinking as soon as I saw the title of the video XD
XD
Aqua Tofana is so fun to say in like a eerie, mysterious voice 🤣💯
“ this ain’t Sephora “ 😂😂
Keeping up with The Borgias 😂
I can hear Bailey Sarian whispering "Aqua Tofana"
Not every hero wears capes.
This one wore makeup 😂
As soon as I saw this thumbnail and title, I did my *Bailey Sarian whisper* Aqua Tofanaaaaa
I totally love this narrator. Especially in this series. In high school I will probably would have done better in history. Keep up the good work man!

Very well said!
@@iDvnKTV Abuse is also wrong. Women should be allowed to retaliate.
@@nomoretwitterhandlescertainly not with murder. There is a process for that
@@marc-andremireault1678there wasn't at the time
@@iDvnKTV yes with murder! If someone steals you and sells you into sexual slacery for your biological father benefit, you are infact allowed to defend yourself, until your assailant escalates the issue till it results in their death.

Inconceivable!
Higher body count than Vlad? Big difference between her 600 and his 80,000+.
Especially given that “She may not have actually killed anyone.”

@@DeadboltDame Picked up a nickname for thing with the 20,000 Turks. Now that guy could hold a grudge.
Both, are my heroes.... ❤😊❤
I dunno if y'all are aware, but his remark had the cadence of a sarcastic joke.

2)May re-binge watching Bailey Sarian's Murder Mystery and Makeup Monday series today
Thanks weird History
Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's interested in powerful Italian history content, I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned
very interesting. never heard of her. love old cases
What a story and thanks for sharing.
0:13 Reminds me of the poisoned apple the Evil Queen gave Snow White in the Disney film.
Being a domestic violence survivor, I can understand how women thought Aqua Tofana was the only way to survive. Italian women in that time didn't have any rights. I call it self-defense.
Yet she was selling it, making a profit from murder.
Puts all that into question.

I don't doubt many of the women were in the predicament you describe... but I have zero doubt that far from all of them were.
Yet flip it and y’all would whine how men are evil and you’re the victims
@@brennathecatlover4360 Oh, gods. Men murder women for less. It's more commonplace throughout history.
@@brennathecatlover4360 Ah, that argument never gets old.
“Aqua Tofana” - Whispered by Bailey Sarian
There was a ring called ‘poison ring’ that was used to carry poison, so I’d say Lucrezia’s ring might have existed for real.
10:43 I am not certain..but some of the fashion in the film Amadeus seems like that of the Macaroni fashion trend.
That Weird History video "The Ridiculous History of Macaroni Fashion" is such a great video!
**Whispers..."Aqua Tofana"....thank you Bailey Sarian lol
Makeup so good that it kills
0:49 My older brother had that album Poison by Bel Biv DeVoe.
We listened to the song "Poison" a lot.
bro i just started listening to it as the single song poison, turk dance
@@Justachamp772 I just looked that up..Turk's dance from Scrubs, right?
yup@@btetschner
Things REALLY went bad for Borgia when he crossed the Audatore family
"Iocaine powder? Nice try but I've developed a tolerance".
A new video just in time for bed woohoo! I’ve fallen asleep to this voice and it’s random facts so often 😂
2:53 That reminds me of the apothecary Monsieur Homais in the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.
That is one of my favorite books.
It was one of Time Magazine's 10 Greatest Books of All Time.
I saw the title and immediately said it's Aqua Tofana
Love your sense of humor.
Nobody:
Bailey Sarian: Aqua Tofanaaaaaa
@BaileySarian has entered the chat *Aqua Tofana*
Never heard of her till now.😮
She’s a queen and we Stan her
Now I'm going to watch the Borgia DVDs.
Thanks for this! 💄 #WeirdHistory #Poison #MakeUp #GiuliaTofana
Ah, so 600 men dead from poisoning is the same equivalent to 20.000 impaled victims.
Pretty good math there.
What a Queen and Saint !!!! Wonderful human thank her for her service to women ❤
Beautiful to look at; Deadly to touch!
She mascara-ded as an angel but was anything but. 🤷♀️🙈
😂😂😂😂
She was great....
Maybe he died from it, maybe it's aqua tofana?
The lady in the right of the thumbnail is from Leonardo da Vinci’s 'La Belle Ferronniere'. I have a magnet of the exact painting on my fridge from The Louvre, from when I went to the Leonardo exhibit.
Cool!
I have only been to the Louvre in a TH-cam walk . I did get to see the Mona Lisa. Lot smaller than I thought it would be.👍🗼
So you could say that she… slayed?
Please! Give Us An Update On Season 4 Of The Timeline Series!
I guess you could say that she had "killer looks"?😁
Or...if looks could kill.👍
Aqua Tofana is a gun word to say honestly
Thank you for this video! ☺💐

You leave someone with no power and they will find a way to take it back. What did men expect?
Women be doin' it for themselves, son.
A mother , a Queen, a legend. She was too real for that ❤😂😂😂😂
Maybelline?
A+ video!
Awesome video, LOVE IT!
"This ain't sephora"😂😂😂😂
slayed with her make up 💄
10:43 We watched the film Amadeus (1984) during one of our junior high music classes.
Belladonna is still used in modern medicine.
Was she really a criminal? Or did she help women when no one else would?
She was a hero. 😊
I like to think of her as a kind of an activist for women's rights. She helped a lot of women find a way out of abusive marriages, when no one else lifted a finger to help.
Well, some make up that kills! Damn!
Can you make a video about Ginggaew Lorsoungnern, the woman who died twice. 😊😊😊
1:21 That sounds very similar to the mental disorder Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, previously known as fabricated or induced illness by carers.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this!
Agreed!
This ain't Sephora was crazy😂😂😂

Ah top 10 comments. I feel special
Can't wait to watch, lol
Wonder if this is the inspiration behind Magic, Lies and Deadly Pies 🤔

I wish we knew what the whole recipe was... for science.

10:43 "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco was inspired by the 1984 film Amadeus.
It is the only German Language song to hit #1. (REACT)

This is an opinion piece
Aqua toufanna!!!! 💖💝💖 This lady was a vigilante especially in a time where we were no more than cheap property that you could do anything you wanted and get away with it ... She saved more lives than she ended I give you that !
Ive heard of marry young and marry often, but 600? Thats alot of wedding gifts.
'Sociopath with a successful criminal enterprise.
"Because it lacked any taste, smell, or color...kinda like a La Croux" I tip my hat to your subtlety placed insult to La Croux. 👩🍳💋
What's La Croux?

Nice idea 😂😂😂
She was a criminal
It was justified. The parasitic patriarchy made it so..... 😊
@breadandcircuses8127 poisoning those Husband’s though she may have done to defend woman, but what she did was against the law it’s still wrong.
Talk about a Black Widow. Lol.
Good one!
