In this historical investigation, Gianluca Di Prospero leads us to the discovery of a Viterbo full of charm and suggestions. This city of Lazio, which over the centuries has been the scene of historical events of international significance, still today proudly displays all its splendor which is reflected on the age-old stones of its monuments which, on deeper analysis, "conceal" signs and symbols that help us to read the city's history in another light.
Di Prospero, starting from historical sources, raises important questions on various topics and characters of global importance: the Grail and the Ark of the Covenant; the relations between Saint Sixtus II, Saint Lawrence and the city of Viterbo; the tomb of Alessandro IV, the presence of the Templars in Viterbo etc. In this new edition there is no shortage of news; in the very rich final appendix he explores new topics: the relations between Rhodes and Viterbo, the symbols present in the church of San Sisto, the flowers of life scattered throughout the city, the meaning of the symbols carved on the Fontana Grande.
All that remains is to immerse yourself in the reading and be accompanied on this fascinating journey.
