Riccardo: The Man Who Blew Up the Pope

 Rob Ferraro

A corpse that explodes inside the Vatican. A papal doctor who hides behind secrecy, lies, and forbidden photographs. This is not fiction — it’s a true story. For decades, the scandal surrounding Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, personal physician to Pope Pius XII, has been buried under shame and silence. Now, after years of research in hidden archives and forgotten testimonies, the truth comes to light. From Nazi-occupied Rome to the shadowy dawn of the Cold War, this investigative series blends true crime and history to reveal one of the strangest, most unsettling sagas the Catholic Church has ever tried to forget.
