The Restoration of St. Peter’s Baldacchino
11m
A masterpiece of Bernini's genius, the Baldacchino of St. Peter's Basilica rises over the tomb of Saint Peter, embodying the awe and reverence of the Catholic faith. Weighing 63 tons and crafted from bronze, gold, and other precious materials, this monumental structure underwent a meticulous restoration ahead of the 2025 Jubilee Year. This effort, supported by the Knights of Columbus, honors a timeless link to Christianity’s roots and preserves a spiritual landmark for future generations. As pilgrims gather, they will witness a renewed Baldacchino that stands as a testament to faith, tradition, and divine majesty.
