In the end, readers will appreciate that in saving Michelangelo's Dome from collapse, these three mathematicians and one determined pope unknowingly invented the profession of engineering as we practice it today. With it, they transformed the architectural world and ushered in generations of future buildings and structures that, otherwise, would never have been built."--Publisher's description. 600 00 Michelangelo Buonarroti,|d1475-1564. 600 00 Benedict|bXIV,|cPope,|d1675-1758. 600 10 Poleni, Giovanni,|d1683-1761. 600 10 Vanvitelli, Luigi,|d1700-1773. 600 10 Salvi, Nicola. 600 10 Fuga, Ferdinando,|d1699-1782. 610 20 Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano. 650 0 Domes|zVatican City|xDesign and construction. 650 0 Structural engineering|xHistory. 650 0 Church architecture|zVatican City. 650 0 Architects|zItaly. 650 0 Mathematicians|zItaly. 651 0 Vatican City|xBuildings, structures, etc.
