They Turned a Medieval City Into the Most Beautiful on Earth | Rome 1600–1700

In 1600, Rome was a decaying medieval city. Crooked streets. Crumbling basilicas. A population of barely 100,000 people living among ancient ruins used as stables and quarries. By 1700, it was the most beautiful city on Earth. This episode of Chronicles Rebuilt reconstructs how the Catholic Church — fighting for survival against the Protestant Reformation — decided to turn Rome itself into the argument for God's existence. And how two rival geniuses, Bernini and Borromini, built something the world had never seen. What you'll discover: → How the Counter-Reformation turned beauty into a weapon → The rivalry between Bernini and Borromini that gave Rome twice the genius → The colonnade of St. Peter's — and why the Pope called it "an act of faith" → How Rome's baroque language spread from Brazil to the Philippines 🏛️ CHRONICLES REBUILT — History reconstructed through AI visuals.
