On Wednesday a man described as “unstable” was reportedly arrested by Vatican police after tossing a candelabra off the main altar in St Peter’s Basilica.
According to Italian news agency ANSA, on Wednesday morning a man climbed onto the main altar at the center of St. Peter’s basilica, which sits beneath the famed leafy canopy sculpted by Italian Baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and threw a candelabra to the floor. Currently being questioned by the police as to his motives, the man was reportedly stopped outside of the basilica earlier this week after showing signs of being “unbalanced.”
