In the second part, we have look a little bit on the first part of the intriguing puzzle and going places. The author is very convinced that those who are not familiar with Dan Brown's work may find it tricky and a bit confusing to go through the story. It not only need concentration, you need a little background understand from the point of history and religious to understand it all.

Thus for the third part, the puzzle and the clues continue on the Path of Illumination.

SEGNO THREE - THIRD CLUE

Langdon had to head back to the Vatican Archives to search for another Bernini's sculpture that have relation with fire and in line with the preceding clue of the West Ponente. The third clue lead Langdon to another Bernini's sculpture, Ecstasy of St Theresa.

The sculpture is located at the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria Church in Rome. This marble sculpture was made in between 1647-1652.

Here, Langdon found Cardinal Guidera, another Prefereti is hanged and incinerated by the Hassassin. Despite attempts to save the Cardinal, Langdon failed but had a brief moment of encounter directly with the Hassassin. Cardinal Guidera was burnt to death with a FIRE ambigram on his chest. Again, the arrow of the angel on the sculpture lead Langdon to the final clue.

SEGNO FOUR - FOURTH CLUE

Supposedly the final sculpture, it takes Langdon to Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers.

The fountain is located exclusively at Piazza Navona, another famous square where historically it follows the plan of an ancient Roman circus, the 1st century Stadium of Domitian, where the Romans came to watch the agones ("games")

This is another Bernini's masterpiece that was erected in 1651 in front of the Church of Sant'Agnese.

Each individual sculpture represent one major river of the four continents - Nile (Africa), Ganges (Asia), Danube (Europe) and Rio de la Plate (America). Langdon found Cardinal Biaggi, with a WATER ambigram, attempted to be drowned by the Hassassin, miraculously Langdon manages to save him with some oxygen pipe while waiting for help from the other police force. Cardinal Biaggi told Langdon the place where he and the other three Cardinals were held captive.

CHURCH OF ILLUMINATION

With tips by Cardinal Biaggi, Langdon, Vetra and the whole force storms into Castel Sant'Angelo (Castle St Angelo). This is believed to be the main lair for the Hassassin to operate under some instruction from the Illuminati.

Castel Sant'Angelo is built during the Hadrian's age which throughout the years have been used as a fortress, castle, prison and now a museum. The main statue here is a bronze statue of St Michael holding a sword which was made by the Flemish sculptor Peter Anton von Verschaffelt in 1753 replacing the original marble statue.

Langdon found the four ambigram markers except one - been missing. They managed to escape and run back to the Vatican City with an underground passageway of 800 metres in length known as Il Passetto.

THE FIFTH AMBIGRAM

They now know that the fifth mark is a double key sign - a sign of the Pope himself. The PAPAL ambigram marked on the Carmelengo chest but made upside down becomes the reference for the location of the bomb itself - St Peter's Tomb at the Vatican Hill.

Today the St Peter Basilica is build on top of the Vatican Hill, therefore St Peter's tomb is located underground of the Basilica, a huge building in the Vatican City designed by Michelangelo.

St Peter is the first pope elected after the death of Jesus Christ carrying the mission by Jesus himself. St Peter was crucified to death but in an upside-down manner from the Jesus' one.

In the movie also show recurrent display of Sistine Chapel, a private chapel for the pope and a place where Cardinals meet to elect a new pope upon the death of the preceding pope. The painting on the wall and ceiling are done by Michelangelo in 1508-1512.
