Summary
The Conclusion contrasts the principles that had underpinned the San Paolo reconstruction with those that guided Pius and his advisors after 1850, as they mobilized sacred history through new architectural and planning initiatives in Rome, rethinking the relationship between the international faithful and the institutional church and laying the groundwork for the modern papacy.
