"Dear Lucrezzia, at last that idiot Brazino Inneundo ate the wrong kind of mushroom, the one that was meant for him! Of course, they think it was you. I heard that the cook was tortured into confession and mentioned your name, like they always do. Far be it from me to point the finger, but one cannot help admiring the expert choice of time and place! Brazino paid far too much attention to that fool Marmalodi. Now someone else will take charge of defending the city and will probably successed in holding on to it. Of course, you can rely on me not to breath a word of my suspicions to anyone!
Yours, Gossippa Lotta"
- —From a collection of letters sent by Gossippa Lotta to various Princes and other notables. This letter was sent to Lucrezzia Belladonna and refers to the poisoning of the Mercenary General hired to defend the city of Trantio against besieging forces of Luccini. It is interesting to note that Gossippa is said to have employed a succession of Halfling food tasters in the years following the siege of Trantio.[1b]
Brazino Inneundo was a Mercenary General who was recruited to defend Trantio against a besieging force from Luccini. Allegedly he relied on the advice of Giovanni Marmalodi.[1a]
Brazino died of mushroom poisoning during the siege, for which many accused Lucrezzia Belladonna to be responsible.[1a]
Trivia[]
