It reviews two thousand years of papal history: from the first bishops of Rome and the figure of Gregory the Great to the consolidation of its supremacy in the Middle Ages, with the tension between the pontiff's spiritual power and the temporal power of sovereigns as the guiding thread. Includes abundant graphic material.
