Through the narration, between fantasy and reality, i also want to tell the life of a Sienese priest who lived in Pievasciata (SI) between the 19th and 20th centuries. In the background a fortified church from the year one thousand. In the history of this parish priest, those of other characters, especially women, are intertwined: Sister Costanza, the young Consiglia, the faithful perpetual, the artist Elena.
A little country priest, shy, curious and haughty. If necessary, theologian, philosopher, demonologist, exorcist, chemist, agronomist, alchemist, entomologist, astronomer, antiquarian, bibliophile, doctor and veterinarian; always around with the bike, up and down the countryside of Siena, accompanied by the faithful white dog: here is the figure of Don Virgilio P. from Pievasciata.
The priest moves with particular ease among the enigmas of the human soul; among the crimes of real life, as well as among the mysteries of the unknown.
A figure not as small as a man, he discreetly faces the scenes of crimes and mysteries, often, but not always, set in the Sienese countryside. Behind the anonymous aspect hides one of the sharpest minds that has ever crossed those places. For years Don Virgilio has listened, in the secret of the confessional, to the errors and horrors of men, learning to untie the most difficult knots.
A real gothic mystery in Siena, (near Florence) Tuscany.
