Grand Killer…still on the loose
July 15th, 2010 | Posted by Erica
My semester abroad is starting to look like a bunch of hocus pocus. After months of studying art and Italian history and speculating over the mysterious Medici murders, some of that schooling now seems silly.
Ora, I’ve been back 5 year and the Medicis dead over 400, the truth is finally out. The verdict isn’t family feud — but fiery female mosquito!
According to MSNBC.com, MALARIA, not poison as long rumored, killed Francesco I de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and his second wife, Bianca Cappello. The couple died a few hours apart in October 1587. Their almost simultaneous deaths led to speculation that they had been murdered.
This reminds me of the recent news of another world famous royal proven to have also fallen victim to the same fiend.
