Product Description

5 LANGUAGES (English, Italian, Polish, Spanish, French);
REGION: ALL. The Official documentary on VATICAN CITY: a nation as big as a small town.
It is not any place but one that can attract more than two million visitors per year; where its working force must cross its frontiers on a daily basis, its two thousand year old knowledge and heritage is considered the book of man, and its activities reverberate to the most remote places all over the world.

Review

The Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums are presented together with other exceptional images such as the oldest Bible existing in the world (Codex B), and scenes of the Vatican’s day-to-day life: the printers at work in its printing press, the Internet office’s technology, the back stage of the official visits, the exquisite precision of the calligraphy of the official parchments.
Finally, we are presented with a unique image of the Pope, in his own apartment, having dinner with Bishops. –Osservatore Romano
