A MYSTERIOUS DOCUMENT
An intriguing story
In a mysterious and full of surprises Bologna an ancient Templar legend materializes in the 1960s thanks to the curiosity of a group of young people. They are the boys of the Compagnia in via Santa Caterina.
Their lives will be turned upside down by the stories of the Knights Templar revealed by an ancient manuscript literally fallen from the sky and decrypted by Professor Goldoni, one of the many heroes of this story, partly true and partly the result of the author's imagination. The mysteries of medieval Bologna reach the reader by following a red thread that spans 500 years of history through charades, intrigues, processes and ambushes, even fatal, in an infinite treasure hunt.
THE GREAT MERIDIANA
A MYSTERIOUS OBJECT
Inside the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna there is the largest sundial in the world. It was designed and built by Gian Domenico Cassini, astronomer and great mottled woman, who built it in 1660 on a previous one by Danti. The Grande Meridiana hides a secret, but it will not be easy to find out. Only with a great determination and the imagination of our heroes will we be able to reach the exact point where another important person in our history has hidden the great secret of the Templars: Father Pietro da Bologna, the defender of the Knights Templar at the Paris Process, then mysteriously fled before the convictions that led the leaders of the Templar Order to the stake. What did Father Pietro do to defend the secret?
A mysterious and enigmatic object seems to be the fundamental trace to follow the red thread that Robert de Sablé, lieutenant of Richard I King of England and then Grand Master of the Templar Order, left in Capestrano in the mysterious Abbey where the children of the street Santa Caterina found out. It is a palindrome artifact, that is to say read from left to right and vice versa as well as from top to bottom and vice versa. But it also has another feature: it was walled upside down. What does it mean? Will the SATOR indicate the place where the mythical Templar treasure already sought by Napoleon Bonaparte himself in Bologna is located when he gave orders to destroy the Commandery in 1805?
THE TREASURE ?
It will be this splendid Egyptian casket given to the Municipality of Bologna by its owner, Pelagio Palagi, architect and painter of the Napoleonic period, to reveal another important secret indispensable for reaching the conclusion of our treasure hunt. The box, still admirable today at the Egyptian Museum in Bologna, takes us to another mysterious place in the city: its underground canals. As many as 70 kilometers of waterways that made Bologna a maritime power in the medieval period, enough to rival and defeat Venice in battle at the mouth of the Po. The Voyager transmission of 26 December 2014 describes Bologna's secrets well; this is a real treasure visible to all!
