Summary
Hey Spooky Squad! Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re traveling back in time to early Italy to uncover one of the most bizarre and chilling cases in true crime history—the story of Leonarda Cianciulli, better known as the “Soap Maker of Correggio". In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Leonarda lured women into her home in the small town of Correggio with promises of jobs and opportunity, while turning their hope into something far more sinister. In this episode, we break down the victims, the psychology, and the twisted logic that led to one of Italy’s most infamous criminal confessions. Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!
