ST PETER "a visit through images"

“…As the ancient philosophers stated that it was “beautiful” only “Quae visa placent”, so I can say that the present volume is really “beautiful”, because not only does it gladden the sight, but also it catches the reader’s visual interest, compelling him to turn the pages of the book till the end to discover the wonderful pictures of the artistic and religious treasures in St Peter’s.” (from the presentation by Mons. Francesco Marchisano, President of the Fabbrica di San Pietro). Short texts at the end of the book studies the images in depth.
