"Basilica" by R.A. Scotti

book review by Riley Burnham 2/20/2024

well this was good(!)

a thorough history of the long & fraught construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome

we get popes, artists [Michelangelo], & much more, as competing visions & players put their unique stamps on the project

looking at pictures of this beautiful building, i'd love to go visit(!)
