Description

In the depths beneath a Vatican church, an archaeologist uncovers a lost diary that will unravel history's darkest secrets—and change his life forever.

Archaeologist Giuseppe Campise is assigned a secret dig beneath the Santa Maria sopra Minerva church by Father Antonio Ferrua, head of Vatican archaeology. The goal: to uncover the body of Alexander the Great. But when a massive earthquake seals him beneath the church, Giuseppe stumbles upon something far more extraordinary—the lost diary of the infamous Lucrezia Borgia.

Lucrezia Borgia, the daughter of Pope Alexander VI, was embroiled in one of history's most scandalous and ruthless dynasties. Known for her complex relationships with her father and brother, Cesare, Lucrezia's life was marked by forced marriages, rumors of incest, and political intrigue. She became a key player in her father’s quest for power, his criminal enterprises, and his eventual rise to unimaginable wealth and influence.

But what if Lucrezia’s story isn’t what history has told us? Her diary, discovered centuries later by Giuseppe, reveals the truth about her life—and a secret that changes everything. Her words, written to Pope Leo X, offer a new perspective on the Borgia legacy, one that will forever alter Giuseppe's beliefs and lead him on a journey that challenges the very core of his faith.

In this splendid tale of history, betrayal, and revelation, one man's quest for answers could reshape the past and future alike.

In the depths beneath a Vatican church, an archaeologist uncovers a lost diary that will unravel history's darkest secrets—and change his life forever.
