Maybe I'm a tough critic - but, like most Italian churches I've seen, the decoration almost seems too much - a little too over the top. I certainly prefer the austere beauty of a gothic or roman cathedral to the splendor and eloquence of Italian churches.
I feel there just might be a point where you can put too much gilt and too many naked statues over something - maybe I'm jus old fashioned - St. Peters was wonderful but the adornments were over the top sometimes.
