A favourite destination for millions of visitors from all over the world, it is a unique compendium of religion, liturgy, history, art and architecture. Every day the celebrated Square welcomes thousands of men, women and children who arrive in Rome drawn by the many various attractions among which the spiritual calling plays a primary role. The visitor is seized by unique and extraordinary emotions on hearing the Pope's voice, admiring the Basilica and seeing first-hand this exceptional synthesis between art and religion. Upon entering the great square the visitor begins to feel a part of the millenial history of Rome and the Basilica: actor and spectator at the same time. The use of the most advanced multimedia technologies make it possible to achieve the objective of arousing new emotions and recalling to mind the emotions felt in the past. Right from the moment that our "visitor" arrives in Saint Peter's Square he is able to move about freely and look around or retrace his footsteps, just as in actual fact he would do. Passing under one of the famous portals and moving inside the nave and aisles and chapels, he may choose to stop wherever he wishes: at the papal monuments or the altars, at the bas-reliefs or the statues, to observe them from close range. He may then continue his visit, should he desire to broaden his knowledge of the Basilica or acquire more detailed information. The main menu ensures a very broad freedom of choice as the hipertextual visit and the virtual visit - to use the words which are perhaps overused in the multimedia language - enfold to disclose their full significance by means of this product. |
