A corpse that explodes inside the Vatican. A papal doctor who hides behind secrecy, lies, and forbidden photographs. This is not fiction — it’s a true story. For decades, the scandal surrounding Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, personal physician to Pope Pius XII, has been buried under shame and silence. Now, after years of research in hidden archives and forgotten testimonies, the truth comes to light. From Nazi-occupied Rome to the shadowy dawn of the Cold War, this investigative series blends true crime and history to reveal one of the strangest, most unsettling sagas the Catholic Church has ever tried to forget.

3 - The Bones of Saint Peter

As Nazi troops invade Poland, Pope Pius XII faces the most terrifying choice of his life: condemn Hitler and risk the Church’s destruction, or remain silent and watch the world burn. In the shadows of Saint Peter’s Basilica, secret excavations begin to unearth the Apostle’s bones — a mission that becomes a dangerous mix of faith, archaeology, and espionage. Beneath the Vatican, plots to assassinate Hitler unfold, while above ground, bombs rain down on Rome for the first time in history. At the Pope’s side is Dr. Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi — oculist, homeopath, gambler, and loyal companion. Together, they navigate a city under siege, Nazi conspiracies, forbidden relics, and a chilling plan to kidnap the Pontiff himself. From hidden tombs to burning streets, Episode Three reveals how faith, betrayal, and science collided in one of the darkest chapters of the Catholic Church.
