The Welcome to Grusam, your horrific true crime podcast. I am Meg and my life coach Connie is going to tell us

all about the monster of Florence.

So trigger warning, as ush, sheer brutality,

you guys' favorite, crimes that are extremely sexual in nature.

This is a rough one.

I would just tell you if you don't like it.

This is, this may not be a case for everybody, as I have said so many times before.

Do you think some people hear these and they're like this is a challenge?

That's how I am whenever someone's like, this is rough and I'm like like we'll be able to handle it. We'll see. So London has Jack the

Ripper. The United States has the Zodiac Killer, and a familiar case to the gruesome gang, one of my most favorite cases that Meg has covered, the Texarkana Phantom Slayer, and Florence Italy has the monster of Florence.

All murders taking place late at night, all murderers terrorizing their respective areas for long periods of time,

and, with the possible exception of the Zodiac Killer, have all escaped prosecution for their crimes. Florence, Italy, an area known for its rich culture and beautiful scenery.

The Italian people known for being so rich in love, close with their family, and generally pretty welcoming have been haunted by a man known as the monster of Florence.

And yes, I know that I said that these cases remained

unsolved due to the sexual nature and a portion of these crimes. It is the

very common belief that a male is responsible for these murders.

So let's get to it.

So we don't know who it is.

This is an unsolved case.

I'm giving you that heads up.

And I love that.

And at the end we'll talk about some, I don't want to give it, I don't want to give too much.
