VATICAN MUSEUMS AND SISTINE CHAPEL

A visit that takes you to the highest peaks of art of all time, where Beauty and Faith meet in a unique union.
The prestigious collections 'inaugurated' in 1506 by Julius II, who was the first to exhibit the most beautiful sculptures from his collection in the courtyard of the Statues (today Ottagono), are now five centuries old. Arranged in definitive settings between the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, the pontifical collections constitute a complex of exceptional importance both for the richness and quality of the works they bring together (from the 5th to the 20th century) and for the sumptuousness of the environments in which they are housed, in the apostolic palace and in the buildings and wings around the courtyards of the Pigna, the Library and the Belvedere.

Since 2000, the museums have been accessed through an entrance in which all the services are concentrated. Spread over two floors (plus a third intended for exhibitions and a quarter for internal services to the museums), it is furnished with modern and ancient works including a polychrome mosaic from the 1st century BC which perhaps depicts Rome's Tiberian port. From here, the visitor is guided to the exhibition areas along a large helical ramp that crosses the Corazze courtyard, covered by a steel and glass structure. The visit is scheduled according to four itineraries (marked by distinct colours), differing in duration and levels of insight into the boundless collections.

Sistine Chapel

The chapel , seat of the conclaves for the election of the popes takes its name from Sisto IV della Rovere, who between 1477 and 1480 had the ancient Cappella Magna rebuilt by Giovannino de' Dolci and in 1481-83 he contacted some of the most famous Umbrian and Tuscan masters of the time for the execution of the frescoes on the side walls (over 40 m long) and in front of the altar. In 1506 Julius II resumed the decorative project, entrusting it to Michelangelo , who frescoed the lunettes and the vault between 1508 and 1512; twenty-three years later the master returned to the Sistine Chapel to paint the back wall with the Last Judgment ( 1535-1541).
