The Silver Bullet

There is commotion in the St. Peter's Square as tourists and Roman citizens cluster around to get a view of the video playing on the billboard- sized television that was facing the left colonnade of the piazza.


The huge capacity square had two colonnades, one on the right side and the other on the left. Designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1600 with the nave and piazza, the colonnades encircled the St. Peter's Square and were intended to appear as enfolding arms to welcome visitors to the Holy See. Each colonnade was made up of two hundred and eighty-four 284 columns, totaling five hundred and sixty-eight 568 columns. Statues of saints and martyrs spanned the top of the colonnades.


"Where are we heading to?" Amara asked, trying to keep up with the Swiss Guard she now knew as Signoré Marcénza. They had parked as close to the square as possible.
