Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major

Author: Andreas Raub

Publisher: Scripta Manent

Translation languages: Italian to English

Translators: Il Nuovo Traduttore Letterario

The Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the most iconic churches in Christianity and the city of Rome.

Since its very distant origins, which apparently date back to the 4th century, it has been continually renovated and adorned with works of art, making it a historical, architectural, artistic and religious unicum.

The Scripta Maneant publishing house is dedicating a prestigious volume to this extraordinary temple and its inestimable riches, released to coincide with the Jubilee 2025 and containing previously unpublished gigapixel shots.
