Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Two Hundred Twenty-fourth Pope: Pius IV - 0 comments. Pius' real passion was architecture. The papal resources were fairly thin at the time, but he managed to help expand and fortify Rome. He named some of these after himself (the Via Pia, the Porta Pia, the Ville Pia), and employed Michalangelo for a small architecture gig at Santa Maria degli Angeli. Monday, May 28, 2007. Two Hundred Twenty-third Pope: Paul IV - 0 comments. Marcellus played the organ. Thursday, May 24, 2007.

It's a seriously in-depth work by Anura Guruge, that serves as a handbook for the next papal election. You can preview it on Anu's papal blog. Or on Google Books. But when you're done with that, you should buy it from Lulu.
