They receive help from two unlikely sources. The first is Father Mancini, an elderly priest who translated an ancient manuscript from Latin into Italian; the second is a middle-aged gondolier, Sergio Alfano, who in his youth was one of Europe’s foremost art forgers. Together, they devise an ingenious plan to trap the thieves.
The Priest and the Gondolier will take readers on a fascinating journey through the beautiful city of Venice. The author will guide you through its intricate lanes and canals, allowing you to see the real ‘La Serenissima’ – or as stated in his own words, ‘as a means to experience Venice from a perspective that is anything but ordinary’.
