See Michelangelo’s Pietà, located near the entrance—this iconic sculpture captures the sorrow and tenderness of the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ. Carved when Michelangelo was just 24, it remains one of the most moving works of Renaissance art. Admire Bernini’s Baldachin, rising above the papal altar.
