In 1930s Italy, amid war and superstition, Leonarda Cianciulli
was known as a kind neighbour, a devoted mother, and a talented
soap-maker. But behind her tidy kitchen walls, she was hiding
something unimaginable.

Driven by fear and belief in a deadly curse, Leonarda convinced
herself that human sacrifice was the only way to save her son’s
life. Over two years, three women vanished — their bodies never
found, their remains turned into cakes and soap.

This is the horrifying true story of the woman who claimed she
killed out of love, not hate. A tale of superstition, obsession,
and the darkest corners of the human mind.
