This woman's skeleton dates back to the 16th century when the plague destroyed Europe, killing about 50,000 people, or nearly a third of the city's population. According to Nuzzolese and Borrini's explanation at the University of Florence (Italy) in French Science Magazine in 2010, the woman's remains were wrapped in a shroud and considered a vampire. A shroud is required because when the corpse shrinks, parts such as nails can develop into vampires. The brick was inserted into the remains of the remains to chase away the monster and was thought to be the first evidence of the vampire burial in archeology.

Contrary to this view, the physical anthropologist Simona Minozzi at the University of Pisa in Italy said that the brick just accidentally fell into the mouth of the woman's remains. The arguments made by Borrini's group are not convincing. According to Minozzi around the skeleton there are many bricks and stones. Because the corpses often expand, it is very likely that the stone will fall into it. Moreover, there is no clear evidence of shroud at the collarbone position of the upper remains. Minozzi calls the idea of ​​vampires just meaningless. But in the last few years in Italy there have been rumors about vampires. She said that it was just attention-grabbing and attracting research funding.

The Borrini side rejected the idea and will conduct a detailed discussion of the excavation area of ​​this remains to prove its hypothesis.
