After almost five years, the Apollo Belvedere, one of the most illustrious and admired statues of the pontifical collections, will once again be visible to the public. The Directorate of the Vatican Museums and Cultural Heritage is proud to present the study and restoration project, coordinated by the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities and carried out by the Stone Materials Restoration Laboratory with the Cabinet of Scientific Research. The complex and delicate intervention – made possible thanks to the generous support of the “Patrons of the Art in the Vatican Museums” – rose to the challenge of restoring a firm balance to the Apollo without compromising its marvellous harmony.
