Identify and explain two reasons that the popes focused on the restoration of Rome after Martin V returned to it in 1420. Then argue for or against the large-scale expenditure of public funds for aesthetic ends

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

1. Because as many as 100,000 visitors might swarm into Rome during religious holidays, it was important that they be moved by its sights, and thus find their faith affirmed by seeing buildings that might have been made by God.
2. The new monuments and palaces they commissioned would enhance the image of the Church as well as Rome itself.
3. As the humanist scholar and literary historian Paolo Cortesi argued, gorgeous palaces served to bring common people into submission to the Church’s authority and might.
4. Students’ arguments about allocating public funds for aesthetic purposes will vary.
