In this dramatic journey through religious and artistic history, R. A. Scotti traces the defining event of a glorious epoch: the building of St. Peters Basilica. Begun by the ferociously ambitious Pope Julius II in 1506, the endeavor would span two tumultuous centuries, challenge the greatest Renaissance mastersMichelangelo, Raphael, and Bramanteand enrage Martin Luther. By the time it was completed, Shakespeare had written all of his plays, the Mayflower had reached Plymouthand Rome had risen with its astounding basilica to become Europes holy metropolis. A dazzling portrait of human achievement and excess, Basilica is a triumph of historical writing.

I picked up 'The Splendor and the Scandal' to learn more about St. Peter's Basilica, and it did not disappoint! The author dives deep into the history and controversies surrounding this iconic building. The storytelling is engaging, making it hard to put down.

Not what I expected, quite disappointing
I bought this thinking it would focus more on the architecture of St. Peter's Basilica, but it leaned too heavily into scandals. I was hoping for more visuals and less drama. The writing was okay, but I wouldn’t recommend it for casual readers.

Interesting, but a bit dry at times
The book provides an in-depth look at St. Peter's, with lots of great facts. However, I found some chapters to drag on a bit. It’s great for anyone passionate about architecture or the Vatican, just be ready for a few slower sections.
