Angels - Angeli - देवदूत

Rome, Italy: St. Peter's church in Rome is among the biggest churches of the world. Its dome rises to 137 meters, like a 40 story building. This dome was designed and built by Michelangelo. The inner surface of the dome is decorated with mosaics, with figures of angels in the bottom layer. The dome was being completed when Michelangelo died so the mosaics were made by other artists after his death. Mosaic art is made by putting together pieces of glass or ceramic in different colours and this art form developed more than 2 thousand years ago in ancient Greece and Italy.

Rome, Italia: La basilica di San Pietro è tra le più grandi chiese del mondo. La sua cupola arriva a 137 metri, alta come un edificio di 40 piani. Questa cupola fu disegnata e costruita da Michelangelo. La superficie interna della cupola è coperta da mosaici, con le figure degli angeli nella parte inferiore. La costruzione della cupola era nella fase terminale quando Michelangelo morì, e i mosaici furono creati da altri artisti dopo la sua morte. I mosaici creano forme mettendo insieme pezzi di vetri o ceramiche colorati. L'arte di creare mosaici era stato sviluppato in Grecia e Italia più di 2 mila anni fa.
