The Rothschilds of Paris and London grew to prominence by smuggling millions in gold through Napoleon's line to Wellington's forces in Spain.

Digging through the old floor plans of the Badia, Procacci made a second discovery. The church had been rebuilt in 1628, with new interior walls set inside the structure...
