Description

In this episode:



  • "The Servant and the Maestro" - the story of a man named Giovanni Binzaglia, and what led him to the scaffold

  • One of Mastro Titta's executions, as witnessed by Charles Dickens


Between March 22, 1796 and August 17, 1864, the Papal Executioner known as Mastro Titta, executed 514 people. His prisoners and their unfortunate fates were all logged in his meticulous records, from which his memoirs were later compiled by an unknown author.
