Langdon
had
to
admit
,
these
guards
did
not
look
quite
so
comical
.
Although
they
also
wore
the
blue
and
gold
uniform
,
each
wielded
the
traditional
"
Vatican
long
sword
"
—
an
eight
-
foot
spear
with
a
razor
-
sharp
scythe
—
rumored
to
have
decapitated
countless
Muslims
while
defending
the
Christian
crusaders
in
the
fifteenth
century
.
As
Langdon
and
Vittoria
approached
,
the
two
guards
stepped
forward
,
crossing
their
long
swords
,
blocking
the
entrance
.
One
looked
up
at
the
pilot
in
confusion
.
"
I
pantaloni
,
"
he
said
,
motioning
to
Vittoria
’
s
shorts
.
The
pilot
waved
them
off
.
"
Il
comandante
vuole
vederli
subito
.
"
The
guards
frowned
.
Reluctantly
they
stepped
aside
.
Inside
,
the
air
was
cool
.
It
looked
nothing
like
the
administrative
security
offices
Langdon
would
have
imagined
.
Ornate
and
impeccably
furnished
,
the
hallways
contained
paintings
Langdon
was
certain
any
museum
worldwide
would
gladly
have
featured
in
its
main
gallery
.
The
pilot
pointed
down
a
steep
set
of
stairs
.
"
Down
,
please
.
"
Langdon
and
Vittoria
followed
the
white
marble
treads
as
they
descended
between
a
gauntlet
of
nude
male
sculptures
Each
statue
wore
a
fig
leaf
that
was
lighter
in
color
than
the
rest
of
the
body
.
The
Great
Castration
,
Langdon
thought
.
It
was
one
of
the
most
horrific
tragedies
in
Renaissance
art
.
In
1857
,
Pope
Pius
IX
decided
that
the
accurate
representation
of
the
male
form
might
incite
lust
inside
the
Vatican
.
So
he
got
a
chisel
and
mallet
and
hacked
off
the
genitalia
of
every
single
male
statue
inside
Vatican
City
.
He
defaced
works
by
Michelangelo
,
Bramante
,
and
Bernini
.
Plaster
fig
leaves
were
used
to
patch
the
damage
.
Hundreds
of
sculptures
had
been
emasculated
.
Langdon
had
often
wondered
if
there
was
a
huge
crate
of
stone
penises
someplace
.
