By Ottavio Vittori and Anna Mestitz. An experimental Physicist who studies the atmosphere of the earth and the planets and who knows nothing of art and arch'ology, finds himself involved in researching the malady which afflicts the four golden horses of the Basilica of San Marco. A gigantic web of lines which covers the gold plated surface of the horses reveals the green and black of the underlying metal. The process which wove this net seems an unsolvable puzzle. Calling upon his knowledge of physics and assisted by his collaborator, Demetria, he gropes along the unusual field of research. At a certain point in the investigation, he discovers that the answers to the riddle were conceived in the mind of an extraordinary man who lived more than 20 centuries ago. A fascinating book, made more so by the fact that it is true. You will find it difficult to put down. Illustrated in color and black and white. Description text copyright 2007 BooksForComfort.
