Scenes and places

Waking up in a Florence hospital with no memory (2016)

Langdon wakes in a hospital bed with a head wound, no memory of the last days and hellish visions in his head. Dr. Sienna Brooks tells him he is in Florence, then a fake police officer starts shooting and she pulls him out of the building.

Running through the Boboli Gardens (2016)

Hunted by agents and an assassin, Langdon and Brooks flee across the gardens and use Langdon's knowledge of hidden Florentine passages to stay ahead. The route takes them toward the corridor that links the Pitti Palace to the Palazzo Vecchio.

Inside the Palazzo Vecchio: Vasari's mural and Dante's death mask (2016)

The Faraday pointer's clue, the word 'Vasari', and the coded message 'Cerca trova' lead Langdon to the Palazzo. Posing as a visitor with his 'niece', he is shown Dante's death mask and learns he had helped a friend steal and hide it without remembering.

The baptismal font clue (2016)

Langdon reads a line of Dante about the baptismal font and realises the hidden mask is tied to the cathedral where the poet was baptised. The pair slip past the agents to follow it.

Venice: the wrong basilica (2016)
