Descrizione di "A GUIDE TO THE VATICAN GARDENS. HISTORY, ART AND NATURE"
The Vatican Gardens constitute an extraordinary oasis in the heart of Rom with 22 hectares comprising half of a State of the Vatican land. Their history, culture, rate and nature define a complex and unique place in the world. It was here that the cult of Saint Peter was born. These gardens are part of the history of Christianity, they have been the setting of rest and prayer for the popes who enlarged them and adorned them with works of art, fountains, statues and plants with powerful significance such as the olive tree from the garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem. The era of Pope Francis is a new period filled with spiritual richness as evidenced by the dedication of this Jubilee of Mercy.
In this first English edition of The Vatican Gardens, the beautiful photographs of Erika Young "paint the unique environmental sight whose roots span 2000 years".
