A favorable court decision for contemporary stained glass at Notre-Dame

Une décision de justice favorable aux vitraux contemporains à Notre-Dame

A French court has ruled in favor of keeping contemporary stained-glass windows installed at Notre-Dame Cathedral, rejecting a legal challenge from traditionalists who sought their removal. The decision upholds the controversial replacement of 19th-century grisaille windows designed by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc with modern works by artist Pierre Soulages and others, as part of the cathedral's post-fire restoration.

The papal residence of Castel Gandolfo had been opened to museum visits by Pope Francis, now Pope Leo closes it again

La residenza papale di Castel Gandolfo era stata aperta a visite museali da Papa Francesco, ora Papa Leone la chiude di nuovo

Pope Leo XIV is closing the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo to the public as of July 2026, ending nearly a decade of museum access initiated by Pope Francis. Online ticket sales stop on June 30, and the palace will revert to its original function as the pope's summer residence. The decision follows preparatory works begun in May 2025 and is partly motivated by security concerns, as the current temporary lodging at Villa Barberini has logistical and access-control issues.
