PRACTICAL INFORMATION
It is absolutely necessary to choose a bright
day—fortunately bright days are not rare in
Rome; the morning light is best. It is
important to make sure that the Chapel is
open, as it is a private one, and may be
closed to the public at the Pope’s pleasure.
Nominally it is open every day from 10 to
3, but it is closed on festivals and for some
Church ceremonies and general receptions
by the Pope. When these are held in the
Chapel itself, it is generally inaccessible on
the eve and on the following day. It is
difficult to get accurate information on this
point except from the custode of the Chapel
itself. The porters at the hotels often
know. The best way, perhaps, is to obtain
a list of ceremonies at one of the booksellers,
