In the footsteps of Dan Brown: Angels and Demons - 2

Detail from the scene of the third murder: The Ecstasy of St Teresa

sculpture at the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria.

Hello Kakan, this delightful Bernini statue is featured in Keneth Clark's book Civilisation. I have never seen the setting before, so thanks for sharing.

Who got murdered here? I read the book but didn't pay too much attention.

Best wishes.

Pete

Glad you liked it, Pete! I could actually not find a picture of the statue on the Internet that would have been much to my liking.

It was Cardinal Guidera who met his gruesome fate here in the book, being roasted to death. Each murder of a cardinal was done using one of the four elements, in this location it was Fire.
