This week on Champagne and Murder, Please, we’re hopping from one eerie mystery to another. First, we drift through the fog toward Poveglia—Italy’s infamous “island of ghosts,” steeped in plague pits, abandoned hospitals, and more whispered hauntings than a gothic novel. Then we follow the trail of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, the French aristocrat-turned-fugitive whose disappearance after his family’s murder has baffled investigators for over a decade. Two places, two mysteries, and zero answers…but plenty to sip on.Grab your champagne, babes, it's time to dive in.Wikipedia – PovegliaWalks of Italy – “Poveglia Island: All About Venice’s Haunted Island”Visit Venezia – “Poveglia: The Mysterious Ghost Island That Wants to Be Reborn”Condé Nast Traveler – “Haunted Italian Island Poveglia Sold”Amusing Planet – “The Plague Island of Poveglia”Visit Lido – “Poveglia”Wikipedia-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupont_de_Ligonn%C3%A8s_murders_and_disappearanceThe Guardian — https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/22/nantes-family-murderUnsolved Mysteries — https://unsolved.com/gallery/house-of-terror/The Connexion — https://www.connexionfrance.com/news/man-suspected-of-killing-family-reported-to-be-at-french-convent/652210Le Monde — https://www.lemonde.fr/livres/article/2025/05/19/l-enigme-publique-no-1-de-daniel-zagury-xavier-dupont-de-ligonnes-en-tueur-mystique_6607191_3260.html
