Anyone who has read the book or seen the movie Angels and Demons, knows that author Dan Brown guides Robert Langdon through Rome with numerous clues. Over the past few days as we have toured Rome to learn more of it's history, architecture, and art, we have been to some of the locations mentioned by Brown. Sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini plays an integral role in the clues that Langdon follows. Here are two of Bernini's sculptures that play an important role Angels and Demons.
At Santa Maria della Vittoria we see Bernini's
St. Teresa in Ecstasy (1652)
At the Piazza Navona we see Bernini's
Fountain of the Four Rivers (1648-1651).
This is where Robert Langdon saves the last of the
Preferiti from drowning.
