Born in Treviso in 1977, Marco Rigamonti is a writer, essayist, researcher and scholar of esoterism and tradition of chivalry, who became Grand Master of the Priory of Sion for legitimate transmission after creating a ritual, philosophical and initiatory system from the ancient rituals and knowledge that are heritage of the Priory of Sion and today officially represents the institution worldwide.
This ancient Order has managed to survive for almost a thousand years, resisting ferocious persecutions and only in recent history has won the honor of the French news and then reach world attention in the modern era after the bestseller "The Holy Grail" , by Lincoln, Baigent and Leigh, up to the equally if not even more famous novel "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. In 2015, the Order was re-registered, with the aim of also acquiring an institutional dimension.
The Prieuré de Sion - Ordre de la Rose-Croix Véritas O.D.L.R.C.V. has as reference authority for the initiatory transmission and Grand Patriarch, Gino Sandri.
