Presence

On August 29, 1523, Margherita, known as Madregna, was accused of witchcraft and subjected to rope torture.

In fear of further agony, she confessed to practicing sorcery and taking part in a sabbath.

She was condemned and burned alive at the stake.

Her property was confiscated and redistributed according to the customs and privileges upheld by the Inquisition.

Centuries later, her presence still echoes.
