Secrets of the Sistine Chapel
Nearly 500 years ago, Italian artist Michelangelo completed one of the treasures of Rome: the frescoes adorning the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. His vision of the Old Testament has drawn people from around the world and fascinated scholars for centuries. The authors of the new book "The Sistine Secrets" re-examine the masterpiece and discover what could be dangerous and powerful hidden messages, possibly intended to insult the pope. "Nightline" co-anchor Martin Bashir reports from Italy.
