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.

रोम, इटलीः सैंट पीटरस का गिरजाघर दुनिया के सबसे बड़े गिरजाघरों में से है. इसका गुम्बज 137 मीटर ऊँचा है, यानि 40 मँजिल के घर जितना ऊँचा. इस गुम्बज का वास्तुशिल्प और निर्माण माइकल एँजलो का है. गुम्बज के भीतरी हिस्से पर सबसे नीचे एँजलस यानि देवदूतों को कलाकृतियाँ हैं जोकि मोज़ाइक शैली में बनी है. गुम्बज पूरा हो रहा था जब माइकल एँजलो की मृत्यू हुई और यह मोज़ाइक उनकी मृत्यू के बाद अन्य कलाकारों ने बनायी. इस शैली में छोटे छोटे रंग बिरंगे काँच या सिरामिक की टुकड़ों से कलाकृति बनाते हैं. इस कला का विकास ग्रीस तथा इटली में दो हज़ार वर्ष पहले हुआ.

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.
