St Peters basilica - Chapel of St Sebastian

St Peters basilica -
The Chapel of St. Sebastian, named after the subject of the mosaic above the altar, immediately follows. It was completed by Pier Paolo Cristofari after a drawing by Domenico Zampieri, better known as Domenichino (1581-1641). Below the altar the body of Bl. Innocent XI (1676-1689) is preserved in a crystal casket.

In this chapel we also find two modern works. On the right is the statue of Pius XI (1922-1939), the first sovereign of Vatican City State which was created in 1929 as a result of the Lateran Pact. The statue was made by Francesco Nagni (1897-1977) in 1949.
