burning "witches" in italy wasn't a thing until after the end of the middle ages, and picked up steam after the counterreformation. There were some edge cases like the Benadantes, however they were condemned for heresy not for witchcraft. Granted things would probably have been different if the supposed witches had actual magicAh yes, because medieval Italy had witches with actual magical summoning spells, not being burned at stake, while men can have 5 wives without care in the world
Just so you know, since there is Ottoman Empire already, it is certainly past 1300 so may already have inquisition, and both romans and italians had monogamy, taking wives, concubines, or whatever else you can name it was not legal, not socially accepted and generally scorned upon, it is different world enough
Why the modern jap girl has a passing italian name (Marina do exist and it's attested storically too) but the florentine born girl doesn't?
