Cantarella
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- "Cantarella" is also the title of a manga series by You Higuri about the fictionalized life of Cesare Borgia. For more information see Cantarella (manga).
Cantarella was most probably a variation of arsenic used by Pope Alexander VI, Rodrigo Borgia, to poison his victims. The Borgia family were allegedly masters of the use of poison in political assassinations, leading to references to la cantarella as the "liquor of succession".
