into the old city.”
“Langdon
wandered around the interior of the
Duomo
admiring the artwork that Ignazio had so deeply loved…”
“The Dante death mask is around the corner, Marta told
Sienna.
It’s displayed in a narrow space called
l’andito…”
“Until you step inside,
Langdon
reminded himself,
picturing the mind-boggling mosaic work of the interior…”
“And to round out your image of Dante,
here is

Piazza di Santa Croce…”

The bargello,

“…the Vasari Corridor

“…The bargello.
Langdon
pressed his forehead to
the cool glass”
“Langdon
had been mesmerized by
Michelangelo’s
David
when he first saw
it as a teenager”
One book three cities
Robert Langdon is back and he has replaced his Harris tweed suit and Mickey Mouse watch with a Brioni suit as he goes about solving this new Italian mystery. The book “Inferno” sets out to challenge a scenario where all of the characters are not what they purport to be.
Amongst the many coup de theatre in the book the striking characters are the three magnificent cities making up the backdrop to this adventure, namely Florence, Venice and Istanbul. On our site you will find details of all of the locations visited by Sienna and Prof. Langdon in their race against time to…
