The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore ("St. Mary
Major") was built by Pope Sixtus III in 432-440
A.D. on the highest point of the Cispian Hill. The
church reflects the doctrine that Mary was the Mother
of God (Theotokos), which was adopted by the Council
of Ephesus in 431. The model was the major asset in
a documentary created by the CVRLab for a show at
the Palace of Exhibitions in Rome during the Jubilee
Year in 2000. In 2002, the documentary was installed
in the Museum of the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore.
