La Cieca invites the newly reunited cher public to participate in an archeological dig scavenger hunt puzzle quiz promoting the new “Sacrificium” CD from Cecilia Bartoli.

Ready to play? Well, first you have to answer this question:

Farinelli’s remains were exhumed in 2006 from this cemetery in Bologna?

Most of you surely know the answer, of course, and those of you who don’t certainly know how to google. So, anyway, once you’ve identified the cemetery, you go to the puzzle site, enter that name, and get a piece of the puzzle. Whee!

After that, you may ask Daniel Stephen Johnson for the next clue.
