In the Service of Music

The Musical Band of the Gendarmerie Corps of the Vatican City State, officially established in October 2007 but heir to a much older tradition, represents one of the most significant musical institutions in the Vatican landscape. A new video has been published on the YouTube channel of the Governorate of the Vatican City State to pay tribute to this institution.

A new video entirely dedicated to the monumental restoration of the Room of Constantine one of the great four Vatican Rooms frescoed by Raphael and his school, recognized as an absolute masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance—has been published on the official YouTube channel of the Governatorate.
