Vatican Manuscript Trap
FILE - The scaffolding surrounded 17th century, 95ft-tall bronze canopy by Giovan Lorenzo Bernini surmounting the papal Altar of the Confession is seen in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024. Vatican police have detained a former employee on charges of attempted extortion after he allegedly tried to sell a 17th century gilded manuscript describing Bernini’s designs for the altar canopy of St. Peter’s Basilica back to the Holy See. Vatican prosecutors said the 18-page manuscript, which apparently contains the first known specifications for the gilding of the baldacchin canopy, had disappeared from the basilica archives.
