The intervention is a preparatory restoration to a preservation that we hope will last for another 200 years, but in fact the last major restoration was done 250 years ago." 8. Various of workers working on scaffolding 9. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Alberto Capitanucci, Engineer, Fabbrica of St. Peter's: "The object is made up of many materials: the stone, the marble of the bases, four bases of two and a half meters, and the twisted bronze and gold columns, with evidence of the difference between the first third and the second two-thirds as you go up. The entire wooden part that concerns the ceiling of the baldachin with the same entablature around the border. From there we are half-way up the work, because then another third in reality and the part from the ceiling and up. The four large scrolls, the statues on the corners up to the globe and the cross at the top. If we talk about another 15 meters, almost in size." 10.

SOUNDBITE (Italian) Alberto Capitanucci, Engineer, Fabbrica of St. Peter's: "Cleaning is the first of our objectives. As for the metals, bronze and the gold, obviously, after cleaning, there is also, especially for the gold, the verification of its adhesion, of the gold’s condition and of the gold leafing itself. For the stone bases, there are parts on top of each other, incongruous patches that must be eliminated and then returned to cleaning and polishing as we would do on any other stone element." 13.

Workers in helmets hoisted metal sheets up the side of the massive structure, as they pieced together scaffolding that will cover the 29-meter-high canopy. The scaffolding is intended to allow all liturgical celebrations to continue throughout the year, without interrupting the restoration work. "The restoration will end by the end of November 2024. So it will be ready for a renewed splendour for the Jubilee Year,” explained engineer Alberto Capitanucci, from the Fabbrica of St. Peter’s, the office dedicated to maintaining the Basilica. Pope Urban VIII was a member of the Barberini family, Roman nobility. The three bees from the family’s crest are prominent throughout the work.
