Workmen are mounting scaffolding around 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 Wednesday, February 21, 2024. They are starting a year-long, 700,000 euro restoration of the monumental baldacchino, or canopy, of St. Peter's Basilica, committing to complete the first comprehensive work on Bernini's masterpiece in 250 years before Pope Francis' big 2025 Jubilee.
