Restoration work is underway on the giant bronze-and-wood canopy in the middle of St Peter's Basilica, believed to be the burial site of the first pope, Gian Lorenzo Bernini's masterpiece. The project, the first major restoration since the 1700s, is costing nearly $756,000. In addition, thousands of human bones were discovered in a cave used as a tomb for four millennia, while Kosovo's Ministry of Culture plans to spend 2.3 million euros on restoring historical sites in different cities.
