"In the territory of Saint Geniez there is a hillock or small crescent-shaped mountain, located to the east of this parish; it is inaccessible on three sides because of the rock that acts as a wall ... At the foot of this mountain, in the north, there is an ancient chapel or church with two aisles, built according to all the rules of architecture, under which there is another underground church. It is dedicated to Notre Dame de Dromon, where the commoners of the canton come in procession, on certain days, during the summer ". Far beyond the chimeras, deviations and other fantasies that flourish in Dromon, the subject of so many ghosts, it is sometimes difficult to reconnect to the Truth, to trace the thread of Tradition. [...] Notre Dame de Dromon can be compared to an ancient tree whose roots are deep, perhaps more than is believed ... "

"Il Filo del Cielo" is the state of the art in research on the heritage of Saint Geniez, in the Provençal Alps. In his pages, minutely documented, are collected the long researches of the authors on the Chapelle of Notre Dame de Dromon and on its ancient crypt, on the Pierre Ecrite, on the nearby Prieuré de Vilhosc, which not only refute errors, inaccuracies and assumptions lasting for centuries, but they reveal a new vision, able to clarify many obscure points of the enigmatic story of which these places were protagonists.

The expertise of the two adventurous researchers has succeeded in bringing out the intervention of the Compagnons and the presence of the Golden Number as a key to deciphering the architectures, orientations and astronomical alignments of buildings, the hidden meaning of their symbols and their sculptures. Finally the two authors, pursuing the Truth with self-denial, have arrived at a new and unpublished key of reading of Pierre Ecrite, made by the prefect of Gaul Dardanus, who reveals the hidden message and constitutes the solution to the legend of Theopoli, mysterious settlement Roman whose track was never found.
