On 10 September 1898, Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sisi, was walking with her lady-in-waiting along the promenade beside Lake Geneva in Geneva, Switzerland, on her way to a paddle steamer when she was fatally stabbed by Luigi Lucheni, an Italian anarchist using a sharpened file in an act of political violence. Despite initial hopes of survival, she collapsed and died later that afternoon, bringing to an end a life marked by travel, personal tragedy, and an enduring public fascination.
