On the trail
On the trailValvisciolo has a SATOR square carved into its cloister, the word puzzle that reads the same in every direction, and a Templar story attached to it that the guide will lay out for you piece by piece.

Sermoneta at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
