Les gardiens du Pape - La Garde suisse pontificale #[nn]

A Swiss Guard in full ceremonial uniform — the famous striped doublet, gleaming helmet, and halberd held at the ready — dominates the cover, with the unmistakable dome of St. Peter's Basilica rising majestically in the background. From Delalande, Bertorello, and Bidot, this 2019 Artège Éditions release promises an intimate look at the Pontifical Swiss Guard, one of history's most storied and visually striking protective corps. Fans of historical and religious storytelling will find this a compelling entry point into the world of the men who guard the Vatican.
