Holy Grail in Rome?

Exceptional and worring discovery in the millenary search of the Holy Grail, the ancient cup which, according to sources and age-old legends, could have contained drops of Jesus Christ’s blood.

Alfredo Barbagallo, roman medievalist, found a possible and clear drawings of the Holy Grail in Rome, Basilica di S. Lorenzo fuori le mura...

The supposition is that the Holy Grail could have been in Rome for many centuries, but is could also be, and that is really astonshing, that the Holy Grail is still in Rome, in the catacombs area...

That's if the thing exists! They can't even make up their minds whether it held the wine at the Last Supper, or his blood at the cross. That suggests the stories developed after they developed the wine=blood 'equation' to the point where the two became equivalent.

You can't deny it is a picture of a cup, but the jump from that to holy grail is journalistic/archeological grandstanding.  Is Geraldo Rivera involved?  George Spradling
