This multimedia Work makes it possible to carry out step-by-step recognition of the architectural evolution of the Basilica, from the first project which was commissioned by Emperor Constanine in 324 A.D. up to the final works dated 17 centuries later. Special attention is given to the most important projects and to the people who participated in their implementation: architects, Popes and purchasers. Comparisons between the different projects are made possible as well as the opportunity to acquire an in-depth and overall knowledge of every single related topic. This is due to the complete documentation purposely granted by the Archive of the Fabbrica of Saint Peter's and which is enriched by the new photographs taken purposely for this project. This section is further integrated by references to historical facts and architectural styles and by a glossary of architectural items.
