Key item features
Una historia precursora de la novela de investigación judicial que presenta a los lectores un hecho real ocurrido en el Milán de 1630. Todo comienza con una denuncia interpuesta en un clima de histerismo provocado por una epidemia de peste, tras la que son detenidas varias personas acusadas de ser «untadores», es decir, supuestos individuos que restregaban por edificios y puertas de la ciudad un ungüento destinado a extender la peste entre la población. El resultado de dicha denuncia fue un extenso proceso que desembocó en la condena de los imputados a una ristra de torturas despiadadas tales como ser heridos con hierros candentes, enrodados durante horas, degollados o quemados vivos. Para que quedase constancia de esa sentencia ejemplar entre los ciudadanos, la casa del fabricante del ungüento fue destruida y en ese mismo lugar fue erigida una columna, llamada infame, y una lápida como recordatorio del hecho y la justicia ejercida.
This novel retells the true story of a trial that took place in Milan in 1630. It all began with an accusation that was brought on by the mass hysteria surrounding the plague. Several citizens were accused of smearing a pestilent ointment onto doors and buildings to further spread disease in the city. This accusation led to the sentencing and suffering of people that were likely innocent. They were subjected to inhuman torture: brandings, beheadings, being burned alive, and many other horrors. To make an example of these sinners, the house in which this ointment was purportedly created was destroyed. In its place, the church erected a column they named Infamous, and placed a stone to detail how justice had prevailed.
