• Via del Proconsolo - On this narrow Florentine street, once frequented by apothecaries, hear the chilling story of Antonia da Castello, a young herbalist accused of witchcraft in 1481.

Arrested by the Inquisition, Antonia confessed under torture to nighttime rituals, strange visions, and speaking with shadows.
