That’s could sound really strange, the worst threat to the implicit record of St. Peter’s incomparable height comes from the always neutral-politically-correct Switzerland. The Belvedere Tower of the Swiss Institute is almost as high as the cathedral. Villa Mariana is a gift by Carolina Mariani Sommaruga, the countess of Lugano, widow of Emilio Mariani, a well-known business man who first introduced beet sugar in the Italian market. This Institute is one of the most active, planning exhibitions,concerts, workshop and round table discussions.
