Vatican: La cité qui voulait devenir éternelle Filming Locations

How did the tomb of the Apostle Peter, on one of the hills of Rome, become the universal seat of Christianity, as well as a major political and artistic center? Custodian of a unique memory through its archives and collection of manuscripts, the Vatican City, which includes St. Peter's Basilica, the Episcopal Palace, the administrations of the State and the Holy See, museums and gardens, concentrates, in less than 1 square kilometer, exceptional architecture and masterpieces of painting and sculpture. From the frescoes of Giotto, Fra Angelico and Michelangelo to Bernini's columns or the projects of the brilliant architect Bramante for the basilica, these treasures, commissioned by visionary popes, have contributed to the influence of the Papacy.
