If you read the book you know what i mean about the diamond or cross spread over rome, is this true, is it really there?
And antimatter, does it exist?

I have read the book.
Authors have a way of exaggerating things for creativity thus making them fictitious. This is the main reason why he got in trouble with his Da Vinci Code, he put there 'some are from actual places and events' this should not be because he's neither a historian or an expert on the subject matter. These books are there for fun-reading brought about by a person's imagination.
Yes, indeed landmarks are true to set up the reader's mind as to how the location looks like (for it happened in Rome, Vatican in that story), just like the stories of Sherlock Holmes is as they point out the 'look' of London.
Authors are allowed to do this in order for people to 'relate' as to how the venues look like plus allow the readers to feel the processes. They can intertwine reality from fiction but still it's considered fiction.
You can well search wikipedia or any dictionary or reference you may find for fiction so as to understand it fully.
Good luck.

yes antimatter does exist.
if you search for antimatter in wikipedia you'll get an explanation about what it is.
