Inside the Vatican studio preserving the mosaics of St. Peter's Basilica

Since ?the late 1500s, a small workshop in the Vatican has cared ?for ?the hundreds of mosaics that decorate the interior of St. Peter's Basilica in a sea of colour. The 12 artists on staff at the Vatican Mosaic Studio also produce smaller artworks that Pope Leo uses for a kind of "mosaic diplomacy", gifting them to foreign ?leaders visiting the Vatican or on his own trips overseas.
