Great History of "Basileus", Meeting Hall of Kings
Great peek of the Vatican's pearl: St. Peter's Basilica. History, quirks, conflicts earth's top artists & strangest popes. From destruction of 1,000 yr "Old St. Peter's" to fights over the dome, Ms. Scotti did her homework. W/graphics, dimensions, photos, generic Vatican books don't give these insights. Happy reading!
