Bernardino's Inheritance

Year 2020: not even the Lock Down due to the COVID 19 pandemic will be able to stop the work of scholar Lucia Balleani and archaeologist Andrea Franciolini, once again committed to discovering mysterious arcana in the heart of the historic center of Jesi. An ancient underground pipeline and an enigmatic stone sphere will represent two puzzles that are difficult for the young couple of researchers to solve.

The discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds by Andrea and Lucia, will bring us back as usual, to follow the events of the Jesi’s characters of the sixteenth century, their ancestors. The printer Bernardino dictated his last will to a notary before his death, but this is of little interest to the heirs of the Marquis Franciolini and the Countess Baldeschi. The Marquis Alessandro Colocci, husband of Countess Laura Baldeschi, will turn out to be a grim and cowardly character in the service of Pope Paul III, but he will have to deal with the young scion of the Franciolini family, Francesco, very determined in trying to regain possession of the title of Captain of the People, assumed by the Marquis Colocci only by virtue of the fact that he married his older sister Laura.
