The Mirandola witch trials took place in Mirandola in the Duchy of Mirandola in Italy between 1522 and 1525. It resulted in the death of ten people (seven men and three women), who were burned alive at the stake for witchcraft on the square. The witch trials attracted attention in contemporary Italy, and were the subject of Libro detto strega o delle illusioni del demonio (1523) by Gianfrancesco Pico, considered the first book about witchcraft and demonology in vulgar Latin.
