The monumental access to the Vatican museum was opened in the 1930s.
In the past months scaffoldings were surrounding it due to restoration.
The gate has been revealed again this week with the travertine limestone all cleaned.
Atop there are the seated sculptures depicting Michelangelo –left end, bearded and not very handsome- and Raphael – right, young and fascinating.
Both artists are considered the symbol of this extraordinary art collection.
