•  Info Giacomo della Porta and Domenico Fontana brought the dome to completion in 1590, the last year of the reign of Sixtus V. His successor, Gregory XIV, saw Fontana complete the lantern and had an inscription to the honour of Sixtus V placed around its inner opening. The next pope, Clement VIII, had the cross raised into place, an event which took all day, and was accompanied by the ringing of the bells of all the city's churches. In the arms of the cross are set two lead caskets, one containing a fragment of the True Cross and a relic of St. Andrew and the other containing medallions of the Holy Lamb.In the mid 18th century, cracks appeared in the dome, so four iron chains were installed between the two shells to bind it, like the rings that keep a barrel from bursting. As many as ten chains have been installed at various times, the earliest possibly planned by Michelangelo himself as a precaution, as Brunelleschi did at Florence Cathedral.

•  Oppose For the lack of symmetry (corners, dome). Albeit one might argue that the upper part of the dome sort of render tangent with its lower part, and that might be intentional. - Benh (talk) 17:27, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment Sure is intentional....there's the St. Peter's Baldachin under,thanks --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 19:45, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose, windows blown out. Daniel Case (talk) 04:37, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Daniel Case. Bottoms of the windows shines like bright LED lamps. -- Pofka (talk) 12:13, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose saw, tried, it would be so bad if you leave it as it is, i hope you choose some cloudy day and make it better, since is great scene. Problems are not just corners, see statue in bottom, much diffraction is passing thru. --Mile (talk) 11:10, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Blown windows and the parts of the baldachin at the bottom are distracting. A pity as the dome itself definitely deserves FP. --Code (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Good composition, good colors, sharp. -- Spurzem (talk) 22:12, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
