Il titolo del libro è "Sarà vero" e il sottotitolo spiega "La menzogna al potere. Falsi, sospetti e bufale che hanno fatto la storia". Tra i casi raccontati dall'autore troviamo mitici personaggi, inquietanti faccende: dagli Illuminati di Baviera ai Savi di Sion, ai Cavalieri del Graal, fino allo smascheramento della creazione di quel Nemico e Plots of those that are very convenient for those who want to destabilize and enslave a people.
The essay opens with the story of the "Donation of Constantine": "Won the Franks and Alamanni crossed the Alps from Gaul, defeated Maxentius at Ponte Milvio and became emperor, Flavius \u200b\u200bValerius Constantine succeeded in taking the leprosy. [...] Very good: this has never happened. There was leprosy, there was no miracle, the emperor never thought even for a moment to give the pope his lands. But the story is telling us Constitutum Constantini, and so, for now, might suffice. A false trivial eighth century, debunked by Lorenzo Valla and perhaps offered as rhetorical exercise, served as hold any territorial claims of the popes. The "Donation of Constantine" was a ghost, but he managed in one way or another to attract the ire of Dante's Divine Comedy and affect. "
