The Treasury of St Peter’s in Vatican - BOOK

The historical-artistic Museum of the Treasury of St. Peter’s in the Vatican has been waiting for some time to become the subject of a publication, capable of sagely and thoroughly guiding its visitors through the many objects which are kept within its walls. In reality, since there have always been a number of knowledgeable and competent authors around who have written about it – such as the priest Giuseppe Cascioli, whose studies date back to the origins and creation of the museum; or, in more recent times, the Vatican canon Mons. Ennio Francia, who has written pages of great interest on the Treasury of St. Peter's – it is perhaps more appropriate to call this Guide the first work expressly created for the vast and varied groups of pilgrims which visit the Basilica of the Prince of the Apostles with extraordinary enthusiasm every day. We hope, in any case, that this publication contains not only substance to feed the curiosity of the faithful, but also the erudite interest of specialists, as, once, those believers in Christ found a secure guide in the words and acts of faith of the Apostle.

(Mons. Giuseppe Bordin Chamberlain Canon)
