"Cities other than Rome carry the name “Magic”: New York, Prague and Turin. But consider this – all that you think of as extraordinary is written into the DNA of the “Eternal City.” Bernini, Borromini, Della Porta, and Piranesi, are just a few of the artists who designed the face of Rome, and with not a little mystery. All these artists have a common denominator: their interest in the occult and membership in secret and Masonic orders. Churches, domed cathedrals, public squares, statues and fountains – all are steeped in symbolism and meaning that we shall discover together. The most intriguing exploration of Rome ever published."
