Beschreibung
“The Palazzo Vecchio resembles a giant chess piece. With its robust quadrangular facade and rusticated square-cut battlements, the massive rooklike building is aptly situated, guarding the southeast corner of the Piazza della Signoria”.
This is what Dan Brown writes in his latest bestseller, Inferno, set in Florence, and mostly at the Palazzo Vecchio. Follow the steps of professor Robert Langdon and learn about the history of the palace as you move through the locations and scenes of the novel. The public rooms – as well as the most secret – become the settings for searches, pursuits, and coups de théâtre centered on a precise work of art.
“Here we are, finally… Marta Alvarez had expected to see Dante’s familiar dead face staring back at her, but instead, all she saw was the red satin interior of the cabinet and the peg on which the mask normally hung.”
