I misteri di Mercurio. Vol. 6. Il fiume del tempo
by Manni, Fiore , Monteleone, Michele , Obersloser, Andrea
A whirlwind adventure in the territory of Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci.
Nina, Lori and Jamal are in Urbino, in the middle of the Renaissance, just when Leonardo Da Vinci has decided to place his genius at the service of ‘Valentino’ – the fearsome Cesare Borgia. But the great inventor realises that he has made a terrible mistake: Cesare Borgia’s lust for power is dangerous. He could ravage the whole of Italy and overthrow the country with a new war. The three youngsters therefore have to run to the aid of the great Tuscan genius. Now aware of the intentions of the man he has decided to serve, Leonardo wants to destroy one of his large, dangerous inventions, which is hidden in a safe place. The only clue available to the youngsters to find the secret place is hidden inside the painting of the Virgin of the Rocks. The friends must face a great time paradox in order to destroy Leonardo’s greatest and most dangerous invention – the tank – making sure it doesn’t fall into the hands of Cesare Borgia and Macchiavelli.
