THE MODERN BRAMANTE STAIRCASE

There are many remarkable works of art and wonderful attractions housed in the Pio-Clementino Museum in Vatican City, but few are as well-known as Bramante's Staircase. In the Vatican Museums, there are in fact two stairs with the same name. The contemporary Bramante's Staircase was constructed in 1932 and was modeled after the original, which was constructed in 1505. considered a revolutionary architectural marvel of its time, with the recognizable spiral structure that has garnered renown throughout time. Fortunately, the Bramante's Staircase of today is completely accessible to the general public. This stairway, which is also a part of the Pio-Clementino Museum, serves as a marker for the conclusion of a museum tour and the exit for all visitors. Standing at the very top of this massive staircase and watching crowds of people descend to the lower floor is very amazing. Giuseppe Momo created this staircase in 1932, and it has many of the same characteristics as the original. Although in this situation it only enables two distinct groups of people to descend together, it nevertheless replicates the double helix structure. It does, however, include low-profile steps for all visitors and is not a ramp like the original. #bucketlistreboot #museums #vaticancity #italy #cityexplorer
