To research the history of the construction of St. Peter's in Michelangelo's lifetime and under his successor in the critical years following his death in order to determine if indeed the original plans for the basilica were not preserve and, in fact, were intentionally subverted by the architects who succeeded him. PI expects to reconstruct Michelangelo's intentions for the completion of the building.
