The Vatican has always exercised a power of fascination and seduction over us, with its nearly twenty centuries long history, its spirituality, its scandals and its enigmas. As a fantasy world, it has inspired cinematic visions ranging from Federico Fellini's Roma to Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather: Part III and Paolo Sorrentino's The New Pope. But what is the real Vatican?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith nearly three hundred popes and antipopes, not counting a fictional popess, among these figures there are a few saints and many sinners. To borrow an ancient image, the Vatican is like Noah's Ark, containing animals of all kinds, pure and impure. From the early developments of the Roman Catholic Church under Emperor Constantine, to the notorious popes who nonetheless cultivated the artistic flourishing of the Renaissance, to modern pontiffs who must navigate media and issues of social and political sensitivity, the Vatican weathered historical upheavals and religious schisms, gaining unprecedented prestige and carving out a place on the diplomatic scene. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIllustrated with archival images and dramatic photographs, this hand-crafted Ultimate Collection volume features insightful texts from renowned Vatican history journalist Caroline Pigozzi and historian Giovanni Maria Vian, former editor-in-chief of the newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, revealing hidden stories that unfolded in these labyrinthine corridors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of an Ultimate Collection book.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 242 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 200 illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In English language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Released in December 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e L 39.8 x W 47.5 x D 8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Handcrafted volume in a velvet case with tip-on metal plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN: 9781649800404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 9.7kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-placeholder=\"Traduction\" id=\"tw-target-text\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaroline Pigozzi, a former student of the New York University School of Journalism, is a Franco-Italian writer, journalist and senior reporter for Paris Match and vaticologist.
