A lady takes off her clothes for her loved one on a medieval
market square in Italy. The loved one does not let this declaration of love
pass him by.
How is it that this story has entered the vast library of the
Vatican and has then been forgotten? For centuries this secret has been lying
there - the secret which can reveal why the Pople is drinking such excellent
wine and how it used to be possible to buy the position of cardinal for an
altarpiece and a few skins of wine.
One day a solitary librarian stumbles upon the forgotten
stories. Stories of wonders, of love and longing, pride and temptation. Of art
and of reality.
When the librarian delves into the manuscripts of the Vatican
the outcome will be heavy with destiny.
He lives in contemporary Rome; in a time when wonders are
collapsing.
