has description

The vice-governor of Genoa named Ludovic de Valle, along with the council of elders, deliberated on a petition concerning the execution of an enslaved woman accused of sorcery. She was scheduled to be burned in Vastato (a region just north-west of the old Genoese walls, in the vicinity of Chiesa di Nostra Signora del Carmine e Sant'Agnese). Some local nobles, including Galeotto, Bartolomeo, and Baldassare Lomellini objected to the execution, arguing that would bring dishonor to their district and diminish the condition of their properties, and that it contravened custom which required executions to occur outside the city. The also argued that the Body of Christ was customarily carried through the district during processions and that the place should remain undefiled by executions. The governor and elders considered the position and ruled that no executions of justice should be carried out in the region.
