Braccio Nuovo (New Wing) - Chiaramonti Museum - Vatican Museumsrestored in 2016.Greek and Roman antiquities.When the works confiscated by Napoleon were returned from France a re-ordering of the Pontifical Collections was required and the opportunity was taken to build a new section for classical sculpture. Pope Pius VII (1800-1823) employed the Roman architect Raffaele Stern to build what is now called the New Wing (Braccio Nuovo) of the Chiaramonti Museum. The new 19th century building; which is considered today to be one of the most important pieces of neo-classical architecture in Rome; runs between galleries of the Chiaramonti Museum and of the Vatican Apostolic Library. The building is defined by a 68 metre long gallery which is covered by a coffered ceiling with skylights. The floor is made up of large marble slabs which frame original Roman mosaics.
