After the closure of Bernini's Baldacchino, Michelangelo's Pietà has now also been closed.
From the press release that appeared on the web page of St. Peter's Basilica, basilicasanpietro.va/…the-protective-glass-of-michelangelo-s-pieta.html, it is written that from May 27th and until the end of September 2024, i.e. 4 months, it will not be possible to see Michelangelo's Pietà due to the replacement of the protective glass... however, the press release bears the date of May 28th!!!
So first they closed it and the next day they published the statement to warn tourists and the faithful, who, however, found it closed on May 27th.
Excellent organization.
It would have been better to communicate it at least a few weeks in advance and not suddenly, given that it will have been a planned job.
Therefore the faithful and tourists who visit St. Peter's Basilica will not be able to admire either Bernini's Baldachin or Michelangelo's Pietà. Know it first...
Always if it's the truth and there's nothing else, why such a sudden closure... it's not the first time...
"Mauro va e ripara la mia Casa" - La Cappella della Basilica Vaticana allagata - Silere Non Possum
Basilica San Pietro: cadono calcinacci, intervengono i Vigili del Fuoco - Silere Non Possum
La gestione Gambetti in Basilica è un disastro. Chiusa al pubblico la Cappella del Ss.mo - Silere Non Possum
