Designed and written in the logic of the book "The Secrets of the Da Vinci Code", this guide provides answers to the questions raised by another popular novel by Dan Brown, "The Enlightened Ones: The Secrets of the Illuminati". It takes us to the baroque period in Rome, to the secret chambers of the Vatican, to the hermetic papal apartments, where secret religious sects change the fate of the world, where the greatest creator of the era, Bernini, creates the famous statues and buildings with secret symbolism. Like in the previous book edited by Dan Berstein, prominent historians, theologians, philosophers, scientists, archaeologists, art theorists, linguists, occultists, and writers discuss and analyze Dan Brown's novel and the era in which it takes place, separating truth from falsehood and creating a stimulating, captivating, and easy-to-read book.
