I have been searching high and low for precises measurements for St Peter's Basilica in Rome for a small project my son is involved in. I am not an architect so please forgive me for the intrusion, I just thought that this would be the best place to find what I am looking for. I have come across sites on the internet such as saintpetersbasilica.org which have dimensions to the structure but they seem to conflict with other sites. I have also come across a lot of architectural drawings of the structure but none have measurements. The precise diameter of the interior of the dome, the precise height of the facade and the precise diameter of the ellipse where the obelisk stands are things he is looking for. Could someone please point me in the right direction ? Are there blueprints available with these measurements? a book perhaps or an accurate survey something like Flinders Petrie survery of the great pyramid. I will be really grateful for any help with regards to this matter.
searching for St Peter's Basilica blueprints
Hi

What's a blueprint?
I have a scan of that page. Give me your email and I will send it.
for the archives:
Giovanni Battista Falda's etching of st peters and Bernini's, uh, square, can be found on artstor.
1673, plan only, with a scale in palmi. I have a small (but decent) jpg of it . . .
Thank you very much for the assistance people. My email is [email protected] - jla-x if
