The first "official Angels and Demons tour", organised by a group of 30-something Romans specialising in the "darker side of Rome", will tomorrow show visitors the Roman sites used by the author of The Da Vinci Code.
Since The Da Vinci Code became a global success, with more than 8m copies sold, the author's previous novels have become bestsellers too. Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress, and Deception Point were all in the top five UK paperback fiction list in the run-up to Christmas.
"We have noticed in the past few months that lots of tourists, mainly American and British, have started coming to Rome just to see the sites in Angels and Demons," said Simone Gozzi, head of the Dark Heart of Rome association. "Dan Brown certainly moves the masses."

Well what did you think of the program? I think it did quite a good job analyzing and discounting each point that Dan Brown draws on in his book. No Priory of Sion, no Knights Templar connection, No real evidence of the Grail being at Roslyn Chapel and no concrete evidence of a connection with the Cathars.
But, and this is a big but, it is just possible and not beyond the realms of imagination that there was more to Marys relationship with Jesus than we were first lead to believe in the new testament.
I had no idea that there were suppressed Gospels and that Mary in fact had her own Gospel that showed she was central to the early Christian Church, Fascinating.
Did she have a relationship with Jesus that went beyond here being just another follower of Jesus? Its possible, but sadly there is no proof of any of it. Ahh well, The Davinci Code is complete fiction after all.
