The walls were decorated by Livio Agresti; Giorgio Vasari and Taddeo Zuccari. -The grandiose and solemn Apostolic Palace is a secretive place; forbidden to the public and jealously guarded by the Swiss Guard. It hosts the Holy See administration; the Church's spiritual authorities and before all; the apartments of the Pontiff Sovereign.
