The Scaffolding Surrounded 17th Century, 95ft-tall Bronze Canopy By Giovan Lorenzo Bernini Surmounting The Papal Altar Of The Confession Is Seen In St. Peter's Basilica At The Vatican, Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024.
The scaffolding is surrounding the 17th-century, 95ft-tall bronze canopy by Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, which surmounts the papal Altar of the Confession, in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, on February 21, 2024. Work is starting for a year-long, 700,000 euro restoration of the monumental baldacchino, or canopy, of St. Peter's Basilica, with a pledge to complete the first comprehensive work on Bernini's masterpiece in 250 years before Pope Francis' big 2025 Jubilee.
