A richly illustrated volume dedicated to the art, history, and spirituality of Vatican City, showcasing the architectural and artistic treasures of one of the world’s most revered cultural and religious centers. Written by Francesco Roncalli, former director of the Italo-Etruscan antiquities in the Vatican Museums, this book guides readers through the basilicas, museums, and gardens of the Vatican, with detailed commentary on masterpieces that have inspired pilgrims and art lovers for centuries. Lavishly photographed and elegantly presented, the volume captures the splendor and reverence surrounding the Vatican — from St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel to the Vatican Museums and their vast collections.
