For 2000 years, the art and history of St. Peter’s Basilica have contributed to its status as one of the greatest symbols of mankind. But how has it changed over time? Which important figures and events have led it to become what it is today? These questions have never been asked until now and are revealed by Alberto Angela in this richly illustrated book, following a fascinating journey that begins with the crucifixion of St. Peter in the nearby Circo di Nerone and his burial in the vast necropolis discovered under the current Basilica. His thrilling account of events then proceeds through the story of popes and ingenious architects, and through the various sacks of Rome and power struggles, demonstrating how every period in history managed to bestow the finest examples of creativity upon the Basilica.
