Gallery of the Candelabra
The Gallery of the Candelabra is a long passage of classical sculpture, monumental candelabra and painted vaults. Its architecture rewards a slower walk between the Pio Clementino and upper galleries.
Why go
The candelabra divide the corridor into sections rather than leaving one uninterrupted run of sculpture. Above them, the decorated vault gives the gallery a second layer to inspect. It works as a passage, but the repeated rhythm of objects and ceiling painting makes it worth looking along and across, not simply walking through.
What to look for
Monumental candelabra mark sections of the corridor.
Painted vaults extend above the sculpture displays.
Useful to know
Slow down enough to look at both the ceiling and the objects below.
