Vatican reveals restoration plans for St. Peter's canopy.

The Vatican plans to restore the monumental baldacchino over the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, a project funded by the Knights of Columbus costing 700,000 euros, with completion expected before Pope Francis' 2025 Jubilee. This marks the first comprehensive restoration of the 10-story tall structure in 250 years, originally commissioned by Pope Urban VIII in the 1620s-1630s from Gian Lorenzo Bernini to cover the tomb of St. Peter.
