Sinfully acquired immortality. The Great Dynasties of the Vatican

Popes of the Renaissance: they brought death and destruction, their armies swept off the face of the earth the armies of their opponents, their treasury broke with gold, they were loved by the most beautiful women in the world, for them worked the greatest geniuses of art and science. Their life in luxury and power surpassed the royal, but their throne, now decorated with precious stones, was originally a simple wooden pulpit of the fisherman Peter, the humblest of the apostles.

Centuries later, we continue to spell out names: Borgia, Medici, Della Rovere, Kiji. Who were they? Is it just another farce of historians who want to defame the great popes? Where can I find the truth?

From experience, we know that it is enough to look into a house to learn incredibly much about the habits, lifestyle, aspirations and hobbies of its inhabitants. Therefore, on this tour, we will go to the chambers where Popes from famous dynasties lived and try, stepping a little further than the usual description of the luxurious frescoes that adorn their walls, to understand who they were, these Kings of the Renaissance and at the same time the humble heirs of the Apostle Peter.

We will see: Floors of Villa Belvedere, Pontifical Galleries, Raphael Stanzas and Apartments Borgia, Sistine Chapel.
