A 40-year-old man of Romanian nationality desecrated the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican by climbing onto it and toppling six bronze candelabras, each dating back to 1865 and valued at €30,000. He then began removing the linen altar cloth before being swiftly detained by Vatican security personnel.
