This was so awesome. I grabbed this on a trip to Italy and it was great looking at the details close up. I also learned a lot about the history of the Vatican which was also fascinating.

Nice to look at not to read, brought when in Italy as I’m always buying books at tourist sites, should stop really as it never really compares

Really nice pictures, but the text was pretty lacking, especially in comparison to the Ross King book. I wanted more information on Raphael. King should write a book on him next.
