Title: Los Papas y los artistas modernos. La renovación de la actividad pastoral con los artistas después del Concilio Vaticano II (1962−1965)
Description: On November 21, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI met with more than 250 artists at the Sistine chapel in the Vatican City. The present book offers, for the first time, a brief and deep analysis of the pastoral implications of  that meeting in the historical context of the contemporary Church.
