All the treasures of the greatest church in Christendom, explored in their every detail
Published in an English and an Italian edition on the occasion of the Jubilee in the year 2000, this important work documents in detail the largest and most revered church in Christendom, illustrating both the exterior (the colonnade, the piazza, the façade, the external perimeter, the dome) and the interior, with the funerary monuments of the popes, the mosaics, the altars, the Baldequin by Bernini and the celebrated Pietà by Michelangelo. For the first time there is full coverage not only of the Sacred Grottoes but of many areas inaccessible to the public, such as the Hall of Benedictions, the Sacristy, and the Octagons above the corner-chapels.
