Captain Marco Redaelli

'Carabinieri' Captain Marco Redaelli is one of the pivotal figures not only in this novel, but in the entire "Mystery Trilogy."

A 'Carabinieri' officer stationed in Rome at the "Comando Carabinieri Tutela Patrimonio Culturale" is a close friend of Michele Barovier, and it is he who will find himself investigating the professor.

He is born out of the need to balance the Jimbutas sisters' and Emy's worldview with a much more pragmatic view of reality, but he is also an open-minded person, who events will lead to decisions that are puzzling at first glance.
