Why is Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel so extraordinary? Is it really so important? This tour will lead you to the understanding of one of the capital masterpieces of the Western Arts. Ordered in 1475 by Sixtus IV, the new and grander papal chapel showed the pride of the spiritual and secular authority of the pontiffs; but this monument was as well going to change radically, reaching its amazing peak with Renaissance art. This tour illustrates the evolution of the Vatican territory from a pagan cemetery to a medieval castle and then into the cradle of the renovation of Modern Art through the masterpieces of the most incredible artists of all times: Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Bernini. You will as well discover the reasons and consequences of thecrisis of the Catholic Church and the radical critics moved by Luther. The following Reformation led then to a spiritual and artistic renovation as shown by the architectural wonders of S. Peter Basilica conceived by Michelangelo and Bernini!
