Description
Vatican Museum - Spiral Staircase by Giuseppe Momo, 1932.
I did not expect to find the most amazing object of the whole Vatican museums in the form of a staircase on the way out. And less than a century old, at that. However, of all the beauty I found there, this is the one I remember most fondly and I actually have a big size canvas print of it in my own room. I never get tired of looking at it.
No doubt, there are zillions of objects of far greater value in the museums, priceless statues and sculptures thousands of years old, but I am sure the artists that made them would have stood agape at the top of this double spiral. I cannot imagine a more elegant and harmonic way to fill a hole in the ground.
