Title: Scotti makes St. Peter's a living thing
Review: I read a lot of history, and this book is one of my favorites. Scotti manages to take you along on the miraculous construction of St. Peter's against the changing backdrop of Italian politics and war. It's the story of the Renaissance Popes who started the project, the later ones who shepherded its completion and the great geniuses -- Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini -- who left their marks on this project. I can't wait to visit Rome and see all of St. Peter's treasures that Scotti reveals in her book.
