Scotti traces the defining event of a glorious epoch: the building of St. Peter's Basilica. Begun by the ferociously ambitious Pope Julius II in 1506, the endeavor would span two tumultuous centuries, challenge the greatest Renaissance masters-Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bramante-and enrage Martin Luther. By the time it was completed, Shakespeare had written all of his plays, the Mayflower had reached Plymouth-and Rome had risen with its astounding basilica to become Europe's holy metropolis. A dazzling portrait of human achievement and excess, Basilica is a triumph of historical writing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197833146656,"sku":"NEW0452288606","price":14.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71wUySrYu7L.jpg?v=1786965284","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/basilica-the-splendor-and-the-scandal-building-st-peters-0452288606","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
