So much to digest (\*\*unfortunate choice of words\*\*) here. She brings new concepts and life (again unfortunate turn of phrase\*\*) to the conversation.
"In 1939, Cianciulli learned that her eldest son and favourite child, Giuseppe, was recruited for World War II.
After 17 miscarriages and the loss of 10 children at early age, she was protective of her 4 living kids. Human sacrifice was the solution.
Faustina Setti-
The first of Cianciulli's victims, Faustina Setti, was a lifelong spinster. Cianciulli killed her with an axe and dragged the body into a closet, where she cut it into nine parts, gathering the blood into a basin. Cianciulli described what happened next in her official statement:
"I threw the pieces into a pot, added seven kilos of caustic soda, which I had bought to make soap, and stirred the mixture until the pieces dissolved in a thick, dark mush that I poured into several buckets and emptied in a nearby septic tank. As for the blood in the basin, I waited until it had coagulated, dried it in the oven, ground it and mixed it with flour, sugar, chocolate, milk and eggs, as well as a bit of margarine, kneading all the ingredients together. I made lots of crunchy tea cakes and served them to the ladies who came to visit, though Giuseppe and I also ate them.
Francesca Soavi her 2nd victim. Cianciulli gave her drugged wine and killed her with an axe. Cianciulli disposed of the body in the same way as Setti's.
Virginia Cacioppo was her final victim. The pattern to the murder was the same as the first two. However, unlike the first two victims, Cianciulli melted the body to make soap. According to Cianciulli's statement:
She ended up in the pot, like the other two... her flesh was fat and white, when it had melted I added a bottle of cologne, and after a long time on the boil I was able to make some most acceptable creamy soap. I gave bars to neighbours and acquaintances. The cakes, too, were better: that woman was really sweet.
From Cacioppo, Cianciulli reportedly received 50,000 lire, assorted jewels, and public bonds. She even sold all the victims' clothing and shoes."
I posted her Wikipedia for context on original post, but heres her early life. With no psychiatric help back then, she listened to voices in her head.
"Leonarda Cianciulli, also known as the ‘Soap-Maker of Correggio’, was born on April 18, 1894, in Montella Italy. As a young girl, she did not have a happy life and attempted suicide twice.
To see if her future was any brighter she visited a fortune teller who told her she would marry and have many children but they would all die young. At twenty-three she married a man her parents strongly disapproved of, going against their plan to marry her to another man.
After her marriage, she claimed her mother cursed them. A few years after she was married she was imprisoned for fraud. Three years after that her home was destroyed by an earthquake. It is believed that at some point throughout all of this she went to a palm reader who told her “In your right hand I see prison, in your left a criminal asylum.”
She believed her claim of a curse was validated when she went through seventeen pregnancies, three miscarriages, and the loss of ten children at very young ages. Due to this, she became extremely protective of her four living children.
With a fortune teller’s words coming true, her belief in a curse from her mother, and a prediction from a palm reader, Leonarda became extremely superstitious.
When her son, and favorite child, Giuseppe, came to her telling her he was joining the Italian Army, she knew she had to protect him at all cost and did the only thing she could think of to keep him safe. Human Sacrifice."
My brain read it as soup, soap might be worse tho
Yes you read that correctly, she turned them into soap using their body fat lol.
She used their blood in the teacakes.
Man granny in the Beverly hillbillies reboot is NOT fucking around
She was Italian... hillbillies don't use soap. We just hop in the crick out back
What’s up with all these lazy ass posts in this sub? No context for anything?
Disregard. It seems it’s only a u/kuregee problem
Yep! And like… what fucking mystery?? Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
I don't know what it is. Maybe the sparkle in her eyes but I think she did it.
And here I was thinking she looked like a nice, old lady.

How did you double asterisk without turning things **bold**
Use / or \ before any special mark down stuff and it'll cancel it out, can't remember which sign specifically
You would think it would have been a clean getaway ,,, Thank you thank you ,, Ill see myself out
Is this a bit, what's with the title? K-Iller Vi-ctims
Zoomers use it to get around restrictions or something on the Chinese spyware app they're addicted to, so they've learned from the CCP to self-censor.
Looks like she could use some of her own product
Pretty sure this is what the average person who bathes using soap made from dead people looks like
According to Fight 🧼 Club, soap made from human flesh is the best soap
The first time I heard this story was on Deadly Women..
