LIA Nest vs The Vatican Basilica Virtual Usage & Stats

An innovative guide, created with the collaboration of the “Fabbrica di San Pietro” and featuring photography from all angles taken with the Basilica completely empty. Approach the artworks, admire the mosaics, go down under the Papal Altar to take a close look at the tomb of St. Peter, as no visitor has been able to until now. You can choose your route, admire THE ARTWORKS at close quarters and listen to the audio comment from an ART HISTORIAN. Once you have chosen your language, you can explore St. Peter's Basilica starting from the entrance as you normally would and simulating a real visit, or from any other point in the Basilica, choosing a different route each time. You can orient yourself thanks to the map always present on the left of the screen or with the compass, which you can also turn off. Zoom in on the chosen works to enjoy every detail. Listen to the explanations of expert art historians in your own language or silently enjoy the striking images by turning off the sound. Illustrating and explaining a place of exceptional historical and artistic value has always posed a challenge for art and literature. Many monuments have been observed with close attention and interest since their creation. One of these is St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, which has maintained a key role thanks to the many values the place of worship embodies: an example of architecture at its finest, a museum with exceptional paintings, sculpture and decorative elements, and, not least, the highest expression of symbolic and religious symbols for Christians the world over. Visitors and readers of this multimedia guide will have the chance not only to find out about the history of the Basilica, but to step right into the dimension where the artistic creations come to life. "St Peter‘s Virtual Tour" is designed to allow anyone, however far they are from Rome, to visit the Basilica and admire this immense, enchanting creation of artistic genius, within which the history of Rome and indeed the world has been shaped.
