Summary

The investigation exposed the underbelly of Florence. Behind the façade of art and beauty lay a sinister world of perversion, violence, jealousy, extortion and ritualistic practice.

Perhaps it was the work of more than one killer? In this episode we explore the theories that have kept the world guessing as to the real identity of The Monster of Florence.
