What reading level is How to See the Vatican book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Ricci points out, the halberd head with the broken point beside him, and the gash in the cuirass, broken across the chest, containing the figure of a youth with a cap on his head and his garments fastened with lacets, must typify one of the many mysteries of the Borgias. Pier Luigi, the eldest of the Pope's sons, had been dead for some years, so Ricci suggests that it may signify that Jofre was broken-hearted for his loss, and that the Pope wished all four of his sons to come into the pictur...e. The beautiful boy with long golden hair who kneels, holding a halberd, on the opposite side of the sarcophagus to balance the figure of the Pope, is the terrible Cesare Borgia, who had not yet begun his murderous career. The even more beautiful figure in ancient Roman dress turning round is Giovanni Borgia, whom Cesare murdered in 1497.
After the great portrait of Alexander vi. , the most notable feature in the Sola dei Misteri is the Annunciation. Notice in it the exquisite peace and humility in which Pinturicchio ex- celled, and the wonderfully rich and elegant Renaissance archway which encloses the vista behind.
