The restoration of the Gallery of the Candelabra at the Vatican Museums has been taken back to its original beauty. The renovation project costed 700K euros.
The gallery’s name comes from the massive marble candelabra that, along with the marble columns, divide the exhibition area into six sections. Arranged under Pope Pius VI Braschi between 1785 and 1788, the gallery was renovated during the time of Pope Leo XIII Pecci (1878-1903) and this is the decoration you see today.
This restructuring was carried out by Annibale Angelini, who appointed Domenico Torti and Ludwig Seitz for the paintings, and Giuseppe Rinaldi and Luigi Medici for the marble inlays.
