Saint John the Baptist: a sculpture across the river

(Vatican Radio) Professor of Fine Arts Breda Ennis joins Veronica Scarisbrick inside the Church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini right across the river from the Vatican. An effort to admire a sculpture depicting Saint John the Baptist signed Antonio Raggi, a student of Bernini's.

A marble masterpiece which stands proud above the main altar with figures so huge they convey an impression of abstract art.

Should you visit look out for the hidden window which sheds natural light on this stunning art work.
