Codacons sends complaint to Vatican City Court over excessive crowding in Vatican Museums

A plethora of comments, both positive and negative, appear in the media every day regarding visits to major Italian museums and monuments by both Italian and foreign tourists.

In particular, the Codacons (Coordination of Associations for the Defense of the Environment and the Rights of Users and Consumers) has collected the numerous criticisms, accompanied by photographs, made against one of the most visited museums in Italy: the Vatican Museums.

Codacons has filed a complaint with the Vatican City Court in recent days, stating that “visitor management, according to many, is inadequate, making it difficult to enjoy the many works of art that the site offers and raising concerns on the security front, given that Italian regulations establish how the maximum density in closed places must be 1.2 people per square meter.”

According to the statement, the relevant checks will be carried out.

However, in recent years the Vatican Museums have taken measures both to protect artworks and to regulate the flow of people visiting the museums.
