Catholic tradition says that St Peter is indeed buried under Saint Peter's Basilica.
Pope Paul VI felt able to announce officially that the actual tomb of Peter had been identified conclusively, that his remains were apparently present, and that in the vicinity of his tomb were inscriptions identifying the place as Peter's burial site. Catholics around the world will accept this papal announcement as the most certain of proofs, even though the pope was not an eminent scientist and there is no peer-reviewed scientific discussion of the evidence on which he relied. A book on which Paul IV is said to have relied isThe Tomb of Peter, written by Margherita Guarducci, but this ends inconclusively: "In this case, it is possible that at least some of these remains are relics of St. Peter."
To independent scholars, there is no historical or archaeological evidence that Peter was ever in Rome, nor that he was buried there. It was important to the claim made by the Roman church that its bishop was pre-eminent among all leaders of the Christian Church that Peter really went to Rome and was the first bishop of Rome. Without this tradition, the papal claim to be the successor to Peter becomes worthless, so of course the Catholic Church is at great pains to provide any support or plausible evidence that Peter was indeed the first bishop of Rome and was executed and buried in Rome.
