Just behind the famous Trofei di Mario (piazza Vittorio), among the ruins of an old villa built by Massimiliano Palombara, Marquise of Pietraforte around 1655, still stands an old door around which many story and legends have flourished.
According to our sources, that door used to lead into the secret laboratory in which the marquise concocted his elixirs in the hope of finding the alchemic preparation which would give him glory and immortality.
The place has over the centuries drawn many magicians and alchemists such as Franceso Giuseppe Borri, the legendary San Germano and the infamous Count Cagliostro who back then was purportedly the oldest ma alive (according to rumours spread by the count himself who claimed to be 200 years old).
Though many years have passed since those days, this door called the magic door or the Alchemist’s door remains a thick mystery and nobody until now has been able to solve the cryptic inscription above it and to those who believe in this sort of things, the door is a magic portal leading into the great unknown.
