all started in the year 1646 in the square of Nogaredo. Sunday Chemello Mercuria accused of theft and witchcraft as a result of this allegation, the two women were detained in the prisons of Castel Noarna.
Mercuria in turn was accused of witchcraft, and in interrogation, said that Sunday had been and his daughter Lucy to teach her how to become a witch ...
November 27, 1646 Today began the first trial witchcraft, to which I am involved in as chancellor. It 'still fresh grief for the death of my wife and Elizabeth, but I will do my best to be precise and zealous.
front of Mr. Juge Paris Madernino the jurisdiction of Castellano, the praetorian Nogaredo, occurred late in the afternoon Sunday Camelli widow, called Menegota. When asked what relationship he had with Maria Salvatori, called the Mercury, who once had told of a quarrel with her for a bit 'of hemp, which she, according to the prosecution of Mescuria, would have stolen.
She was asked if he attended the palace of the Counts of Lordon, said that there had been some time to bring the shrimp, but there was more often more frequently to ask for alms. He said he often went his daughter Lucia.
"Do you have a mark on the body?", Then the judge asked.
"No", replied, "if need be, I undress in your presence. But do not take me to these questions, because I am not the Morandina. "
" Why say that? "
" because everyone says that Morandina is an evil, but I do not know. "
November 29, 1646
Interview of Lucy, daughter and wife of Antonio Menegota Caveden. He said he be working in the fields and do linen at home.
"Where were you when they came to arrest me?"
"I was going to call my husband. The police tied my right arm with a rope and I cut the braids. I said then: 'I'm not a witch, by the grace of God' "
" Why did you say that? "
" Because I've heard that when the mercury was arrested, she was cut her hair. "
"You know the mercury?"
"I know her very well. And 'my enemy. "
" Did you never given an apple? "
" No, never. "
Lucia then told the story of hemp
" When I got home, my husband scolded me for having fought in public and gave me a lot of beatings. And all because of him. "
November 30, 1646 Day full of emotion. I'm still all upset.
Lucia was interviewed a second time has stubbornly denied that it gave the Mercuria that this apple, is intended to abort her ladyship Bevilacqua. He also denied that he helped the Mercury to bewitch Christopher Sparamani. But it took only a few whipping to make him confess. What he told fills me with horror. Lucia has confessed that, a year and a half ago, she was invited to the home of Sunday's widow Gratiadei Valentino, where he found the Mercury, intent on making a pot of ointment.
"What do you do?" Asked Lucia. "We want to Deck the Halls Mr. Christopher," he said, laughing. "And since I did not want to go with them," he continued, "I touched his nose, and I was forced to undress. I realized then that I became increasingly small, and that turned me into a cat. Any form of cat, we went to the home of Christopher, who was sleeping alone in his bed. Sunday and the Mercuria smeared from head to toe for good, but I did not want to help them. After half an hour we returned home on Sunday, which put on the table bread, cheese and a glass of wine. We sat down to eat and drink. They laughed met. "
Lucia's story has shocked even the judge, who seemed not able to understand certain things.
"At home on Sunday there was a man, and I seemed to have Gratiadei Antonio, but the Mercuria told me it was the devil. At one point, he embraced the Mercury and Sunday, but I do not. "
" It 's true that the devil has ever embraced? "
" It may be that he did it under the shape of my husband. "
" Have you ever been to the Congress of the witches? "
" I went several times with the mercury, and Sunday, with Morandina of Maran, and sometimes even with my mother. The devil in the form of man was always behind it led some players and even a singer. We danced and we were partying. "
At this point Lucia has made the terrible revelation that I was terrified. He said that Sunday, one day I was absent from home, she entered the kitchen and was put under the nose of my wife something. My wife is dead by that witch! But it will never see justice done for all these stuck in sand and my wrath will be appeased.
In so much pain, I have the satisfaction of having the favor on my side of Mr. Judge, who, on hearing the horrible news that Lucia has commanded to be subject to more severe torture. Lucy screamed like a beast. But what they do not deserve these damned! His mother is a witch: she accused herself.
December 2, 1646 Today, the sheriff Joseph Goriziano Gratiadei finally arrested Sunday, the murderer of my wife.
Lucia was questioned again, confirmed its previous statements and pleaded not to be tortured. Since I met you ingredients that were used to manipulate the ointment with which my wife was killed: common oil, fennel pesto, Ravano, garlic, powdered bones of dead to everything the devil has stirred some dust. Apparently, this ingredient must have been deadly.
December 3, 1646
Menegota questioning, the mother of Lucia. It 'seemed pale and weak. The depositions were submitted, made against her by her daughter Lucy and Mercury. He seemed surprised and insistently denied.
The court has set against his daughter, who he accused of taking part in the haunted Christopher. The old, after much thought, confirmed statements of Lucia, but added other nortizie, the judge had requested.
"I've been several times at the congress of witches. I especially one, which I attended twelve years ago at the home of Francis Delaiti, there was also a man dressed as a priest, who looked all over for Don Rinaldo, but it was the devil. "
E 'may represent the devil in the Sabbath figure of a priest is innocent? And if that was really Don Renaldo, can God allow his flock is contaminated to such an extent?
December 4, 1646
I finally laid eyes on Gratiadei Sunday, the murderer of my wife. It 'a woman's expression hard and bad. He denied having participated in the haunted Christopher. Confronted with Lucia, and turned pale. The court has placed the jars on the table and the bottles found in his house.
"Here," said Lucia, "in here you have prepared the ointment to bewitch Christopher."
Sunday said: "I wrongly blamed, do whatever you want, and if I do die, I will be unjustly convicted."
The depositions were read in the Mercury.
"Answer, therefore, say that they are true."
"Your worship," he said Sunday in a tone of lies that could not have been obvious to everyone, "write that I done, but I do not know of doing it. "
"Answer, therefore, say that they are true."
"Your worship," he said Sunday in a tone of lies that could not have been obvious to everyone, "write that I done, but I do not know of doing it. "
Here the torture was necessary to get her mouth from the truth. The judge did his duty, for which I will always be grateful.
December 5, 1646
Today hypocrisy and perfidy on Sunday proved to be so full. When the judge asked her to confirm what he had said yesterday, had the courage to disavow, claiming that the jars found in his house were used for the common uses. Lucy reproached that he was lying, and showing them some flour, said
"This is the powder that you used to bewitch the wife of Mr. Registrar. "
" This is flour, "said another," and it is not true that I have ruined the wife of Mr. Registrar, nor ever have been in her kitchen. "
Lucia reiterated that those were the ingredients for witchcraft . Sunday, shamelessly claimed that they were grains of wheat, for its part for the board, partly because of the chickens.
a violent quarrel then broke out between the two women, the judge wisely once again crushed by subjecting the murderer of my wife to some sections of rope.
Sunday we decided to confess everything and said terrible things and denounced others. Therefore, the sheriff ordered to appear before the judge to testify under oath to the following people: Maria Cecilia Sparamani and her daughter, son and Holy Peterlin Gratiadei, blacksmiths, Donato Beltrami, servant of Sparamani; Maistri of John the Baptist and his wife Catherine.
December 6, 1646
Cecilia Sparamani said this morning that his son Christopher will be subject to periodic bouts of epilepsy and have not earned the care of doctors to cure him. Recommended by very religious, and by the chaplain of the country, believed that the revenues, decided to send him to the Saint of Padua, but, since the roads impassable due to bad weather, had resulted in Brondolo, where the bishop had their fingers crossed.
"Now is Trent," he concluded, "Macario, where his father gave him some of his reports against the bills."
"Be suspicious of anyone?"
"No, not suspicious of anyone."
He also presented Giovan Antonio Ferrari, called Scarambea, and made the following statements:
"A few years ago I was bitten by a cow and a calf in a rather serious. But I never had any suspicions. "
" Neither Lucia Caveden? "
" I really do not know what to think of her. My wife told me the other day that Lucy was once home I pray that I wanted to take his child to baptism, and if I did, assured, I would be more dead cattle. "
December 7, 1646
Deposition Gratiadei Peterlin, lily St., around the haunted Christopher.
"Have you ever seen cats to the house?" Asked the judge.
"More than once," he said. "And although I tried to hunt, there have never succeeded. They always came back and were shouting and versacci. "

Deposition Gratiadei Peterlin, lily St., around the haunted Christopher.
"Have you ever seen cats to the house?" Asked the judge.
"More than once," he said. "And although I tried to hunt, there have never succeeded. They always came back and were shouting and versacci. "
also suffered Sunday Gratiadei Today his third interrogation. Said he did not know any way how it was bewitched Christopher, but finally confessed that it gave the Mercuria the apple, that would have had to abort her ladyship Bevilacqua.
December 13, 1646
Lucia has made this statement:
"Sunday told me that the devil had given her a ring as a sign of the covenant, and showed me, there are some letters engraved above. But he also had another without stone, and with that has branded me here on my shoulder. "
The two rings that were shown were found in the house on Sunday. Lucia said that those were. Request of the witches of the oxen Scarambea, said he was function anointing cribs, and we described how.
December 17, 1646 This morning Lucy has done this horrific evidence. Sunday is also the murderer of Elizabeth,. With the help of his daughter's Welcome, a girl of seventeen, the old has prepared a salad of evil, which caused the death of my daughter. Sunday confirmed everything he had consecrated Welcome to hell, to have her induced to give up baptism and other sacraments, having prepared the salad evil. And when the judge asked her the way that bill was concocted, it was long and lingering with supreme indifference to describe that infamous dish, as if we had described the dish more delicious.
December 18, 1646
Lucia was questioned again. The judge doubted his sincerity, because it seemed to her that the charges were lavished with so much impudence charges, the result of personal animosity and hatred. It was sworn on the Gospels to have said the whole truth and claimed that he would also reconfirmed in torment. And so it has renewed its accusations against Welcome, Brentegani and daughter Isabella against Poland, against Holy Peterlin, against Delaito Cavaleri: all people dedicated to witchcraft, who more than once was in the sand, which was present at the manipulation of ointments evil, who has turned into a bestial form. Reconfirmed what had already been placed on the Communion wafers received from Mercury, but, taken perhaps from a scruple, pointed out that the ring is engraved with the lettre, of which 13 had spoken of the month, had not been delivered by the devil to Sunday, but the mother-in-law her, who was also a witch.
The judge irritated by its contradictions has made torture. The torture lasted for about ten minutes between shrieks and groans, while the torments he admitted that he had never been consecrated Hosts from the Mercury and does not know whether the Holy Peterlin had renounced baptism. The torture lasted for more on Sunday, perhaps half an hour. I have never heard such cries dele bestial but I have not moved. The old woman finally admitted that he had prepared the salad for my Lisabetta.
December 20, 1646
Welcome Gratiadei questioned the first time. She seemed sincere.
"What is your opinion of your mother?" Asked her.
"I have always been considered honest."
The court read the allegations of Lucia.
"It seems to me that he had never done those things. I was so, more than once in the company of girls and we laughed and danced, but I have no idea he had done nothing. Sometimes I was a young, I did not know, and danced with me. "
the judge threatened, I recommend tell the truth about this young man.
"My mother told me that it was the devil and that I should not be afraid of him. One day he applied to me on his shoulder a hot iron and my mother will put her on a ring. Another time I gave him money, which I handed to my mother. But some years have passed since then and I just remember it. Seems like a dream. "
'It is true that you brought to Elizabeth, the salad?"
"Yes, in order of my mother. Lucia was behind me to see if Elizabeth, would have eaten. There were also the Mercury and the Menegota. When they saw that he ate, laughed, all shouting, 'He ate it! has eaten '"
"Do you have any sign of evil?"
"Yes, here on the left shoulder."
were called doctors and Betta Bosin, no effects that the sign: it was a spot the size of a lentil. December 23, 1646 Welcome to the witches said that the oxen have contributed Scarambea Zinevra widow of Valentine and Catherine Chemol Baroni called phytoliths.
December 24, 1646
Lucia Maddalena Andrei denounced as an accomplice, called the Philosopher, and confirmed that the Holy Peterlin is not only a wizard, but the head of the sorcerers, and for this reason is called corporal.
Fortunately, Peterlin has already stopped! The circle of criminals grows ever longer.
Christmas 1646 Christmas should be a joy for everyone. But I'm alone, deprived of family ties by the perfidy of four women cursed. Everything in here seems enchanted the bread I eat, the bed where I sleep in my sleep restless
