Visiting the Porta Magica

The Alchemical Door is in the heart of Rome, in Piazza Vittorio's Garden. Oak Fairy liked to see this magic place. 

Legend has it that one day, in XVII sec., a pilgrim arrived at the Massimiliano Palombara marquis' residence. The pilgrim was an alchemist and he guard the secret to Philosopher's Stone. 

 He stayed for all a night in the garden, in search of a misterious herb able to produce gold and the next morning he was seen disappearing throught the residence's door, leaving behind flakes of gold and a manuscript foll of magic symbols that would cointan the secret of Philosopher's Stone.
Girò per tutta una notte nel giardino, alla ricerca di un'erba misteriosa in grado di produrre oro, e il mattino seguente fu visto scomparire attraverso la porta della villa, lasciando dietro di sé pagliuzze d'oro e un manoscritto pieno di simboli che conterrebbero il segreto della Pietra Filosofale. 

 The marquis had engraved on the gate that symbols, hoping one day someone would be able to understand them. Many century passed by, but no one was been able till now.

Now, where one time lived Palombara marquis, a colony of Cats lives. I think that not the Magical Door, not the Alexander Severus Nymphaeum, are the most marvellous thing of the garden, but the mysterious, magical Cats!

 Oak Fairy talked a lot with one of them, that revealed her that Cats understand that symbols, but the human are not enough evolved to know.

So Cats became the guardians of the Magic Door and its symbols.

 Oak Fairy and me thanked Cats Guardians, and we went at Beehive for brunch, that is nearby, where Aimee by Zeitgusto coocked a tasty vegan cake with banana and oats!

Fairy and me was agreed: good food is better than stones and golds! ^__^
