Gli oggetti Kartell, celebri in tutto il mondo per il loro design, fotografati e interpretati da grandi fotografi contemporanei. Il volume restituisce uno scenario inedito dell’azienda che sin dal 1949 realizza oggetti di design in materiale plastico. Designer di fama internazionale quali Ron Arad, Antonio Citterio, Ferruccio Laviani, Piero Lissoni, Alberto Meda, Vico Magistretti, Paolo Rizzato e Philippe Starck hanno contribuito al successo di Kartell con idee originali e innovative che sono diventate oggetti familiari in tutto il mondo. La collezione Kartell viene qui raccontata attraverso le disinibite visioni dei centocinquanta artisti coinvolti nel progetto che, esprimendosi con assoluta libertà, hanno prodotto immagini forti e suggestive, rivelando così la ricchezza semantica del design. È inoltre restituita, nella parte finale del testo – in cui sono elencati tutti i designer, i materiali e le tecnologie impiegate – la complessità sottesa alla produzione Kartell. Stupisce pertanto la vita misteriosa degli oggetti, dalla loro nascita sino al rapporto con chi li osserva, nel racconto dell’immaterialità della materia.

Giulia Tofana: She Created And Sold Her Deadly Potion Aqua Tofana To Desperate and Abused Women

The business and murders

The most common way for women to murder is by poisoning, and that was also the case in the 1600s. An Italian woman named Giulia Tofana, born in 1620, even made a business out of poisoning relatives.

Giulia’s childhood was rough; it is believed that her mother was executed when Giulia was in her early teens for murdering Giulia’s abusive father. Giulia’s strong sympathy toward women in abusive relationships may therefore have come from her own experience. After her parents died, she spent most of her time learning about different poisonous substances and potions. Giulia even invented her own potion called Aqua Tofana, which contained arsenic and lead, among other ingredients. Giulia started to sell her potion to women who were in desperate need of getting out of abusive relationships. Since divorce was not an option, the only way to escape an abusive marriage was if the spouse died. Aqua Tofana was an effective and discrete potion; it was both colorless and tasteless, and could therefore be blended into drinks or meals without leaving a taste. The potion was often given in small doses and would over time cause symptoms of common cold and in the later stages lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and extreme stomach pains. The murders were often believed to have been natural since the symptoms were quite common in natural deaths.

Giulia, and later her daughter Girolama Spera, sold the potion to women for at least 20 years. Giulia moved and expanded her business in the later years when she moved to Rome. However, her deadly business was revealed when a customer contacted the police. She had supposedly purchased Aqua Tofana with the intent to murder her husband, but could not go through with it and decided to inform the authorities. However, many women were not on the police’s side; they defended and protected Giulia and helped her flee into a church, where she could not be apprehended. However, when rumors started spreading that Giulia had poisoned all drinking water in the church, the police stormed the church and arrested Giulia.

Aftermath

Giulia Tofana was tortured by the authorities and finally confessed to killing 600 people. She, as well as her daughter, was executed in the summer of 1659.

Some of the women who had poisoned their husbands were also executed or sent to prison. Some of the women were strangled to death by fellow inmates, while others were bricked into dungeons where they subsequently died of starvation and dehydration.
