| Summary |
It is a cold case that after 50 years still haunts Italy today. The case is known as the Monster of Florence and it involved the ritualistic serial murder of eight young couples around Florence in the 1980s. In most cases, the sexual organs of the female victims were mutilated and cut out. For the first time in English, made for the international market, this impeccably researched documentary tells the story of Italy's most gruesome serial murder case, going in-depth into the untold tale of corrupt law enforcement, secret services, powerful freemasons, and decades of cover-ups and evidence tampering in the highest circles of Florentine society that sent innocent men to jail and allowed guilty men to walk free. This unforgettable saga features exclusive access to extraordinary investigators. It features never before broadcasted documents and photos detailing the deaths and lives of diabolical criminals believed to be involved in the murders. An exclusive interview with a key overlooked witness who reveals new details about the subculture of Satanism and sexual perversion in the beautiful Chianti countryside in the 1980s. This film follows the thread of the detectives and magistrates convinced there was not a lone serial killer but rather a network of assassins for hire. With unprecedented access to investigative materials gathered over the last decade, the producers examine the fact and fables surrounding this case, thoroughly exploring various theories. |
