The Vatican`s greatest treasures are its Greek and Roman
antiquities, which have been on display since the 18th century.
The 19th century saw the addition of exciting discoveries from
Etruscan tombs and excavations in Egypt. Then there are works
by many of Italy`s greatest Renaissance artists housed in the
Pinacoteca (art gallery) and decorating the walls of chapels and
papal apartments.
