Thomas Madden. The first on our list is Pope Sixtus IV, who ascended to the papacy more than years before Pope Francis, yet shared a similar fearlessness and determination. Besides his high-aiming political scope, which led him to bestow privileges on his fifteen nephews — nipote — and is where we get the term nepotism, this pope also had monumental plans for Rome. Sixtus IV invested heavily in architectural and urban projects that renovated the city of Rome — renovatio urbis.

Sixtus IV improved and paved the streets of Rome, repaired the Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient Roman aqueducts, and its fountain at the Trevi, rebuilt S. Maria del Popolo where many of the della Rovere — his family — are buried, created the first museum of antique sculptures, known today as the Capitoline Museum, which included the famous bronze she-wolf, but he is perhaps best known for building the Sistine Chapel.

Working as a team they painted frescos depicting the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ. These paintings were completed in A year later, Sixtus celebrated the first mass in the Sistine Chapel for the Feast of the Assumption, at which ceremony the chapel was consecrated and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. All the works of art commissioned by Urban VIII were aimed at displaying not only the supremacy of the pope and the Catholic church but also his family, whose coat of arms — of three bees, can be spotted in many paintings, sculptures, and buildings in Rome.

In the 19th century, one scholar started counting the Barberini bees in Rome and gave up when he hit 6, It is almost impossible to go anywhere in Rome today without coming across a Bernini work of art. If you like exorcism and heads on stakes then Sixtus V stands out in the list of popes. Famous for rooting out corruption and lawlessness in Roman society by displaying criminals decapitated heads on stakes around the city he also performed exorcisms to get rid of pagan demons, after re-erecting four ancient Egyptian obelisks as signposts to pilgrims across Rome.

The Vatican obelisk at Basilica of St. Peter, for example, has an inscription referring to exorcism on the east and west sides to keep evil away from the Vatican. Our vatican scholars also tell us the Dome of St. Sixtus V was presented a ten-year completion plan by Giacomo della Porta, to which the pope responded that he wanted it completed in 24 months.

Upon such strict instructions and thanks to a tirelessly-working team, the dome was complete in only 22 months. Peter and Paul. Lauren also likes to remember Sixtus V for leaving us the Moses Fountain.
