Synopsis

Here Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for four years; Joseph Ratzinger moved from the Bavarian Markl; and millions of believers and pilgrims, art lovers and tourists flock here: to the papal city of Rome, to Petersplatz, to the Vatican. Tax haven and epitome of a world power, a small state with its own administration, its own postal service and its own railway station. This book opens doors. It takes us in the middle of this universe, to the Lateran, to Santa Maria Maggiore and the other Pope basilicas, to the catacombs and to Castel Gandolfo. To the alleys, squares and to the people of the Vatican, in apartments and gardens, offices and restaurants - into the urban reality of a cosmopolitan city.
