Cantarella was a poison, a variation of arsenic, often used by the Borgia family and other Templars who wished to rid themselves of unwanted people or enemies.[1][2]
Pope Alexander IV and his daughter, Lucrezia Borgia, in particular used it in political assassinations.[2]
Victims
- Giovanni Mocenigo was poisoned by Carlo Grimaldi using cantarella.[1]
- Pietro Rossi was poisoned by Micheletto Corella during the events of the Colosseum Passion Play with cantarella concealed in his wine; though Pietro was eventually saved by Ezio Auditore, who quickly brought him to a doctor.[2]
- Rodrigo Borgia attempted to poison his own son, Cesare Borgia, with cantarella concealed within an apple. Cesare did not consume a lethal amount of the poison, but it did render him ill for months after.[2]
- After Rodrigo Borgia attempted to poison his son, Cesare force-fed him the same cantarella-filled apple, resulting in his death.[2]
