I am a big fan of Dan Brown :) I was first curious to see what the fuss was all about with that "Da Vinci Code" book, and I ended up reading all of them :D

He's a pretty amazing authos! Even if the books are Science Fiction... and some parts are annoying.. but the point is that the guy came to Italy and visited a lot of it!

For instance, he describes hidden passages in Rome, then hidden streets in Florence, a lot of places that tourists almost never heard about! He also describes many churches and neighborhoods in his books, it's amazing!

How do you think he got access to all of these places? Is it possible for the "ordinary people" to visit them as well? Was he privileged just because he's famous?
