Can you clutch pictures inside the Sistine Chapel iin Rome?
I need to to know if and where on earth a person is allowed to bear photos of the art and statues inside the chapels and other sites? Videos?
Answers: It depends on each chapel/museum/site; they usually own signs or the tour guides tell you, but surely no pictures in the Sistine Chapel. In other places and within the rest of Vatican City it's usually no pictures of paintings, or singular without flash, but you can usually pilfer pictures of statues. Inside churches and chapels it depends- some say none at adjectives for religious reasons as all right as damage to art, others don't keeping.
The rules for video are the same as for photos- video cameras and picture cameras enjoy the same rules. I would articulate, though, that if you are allowed to take pictures or video WITHOUT flash, try the video pick. The lighting usually turns out better.
Pictures of the Sistine Chapel are restricted for copyright reasons; other places prohibit pictures for copyright and because flash damages artwork.
Definately transport your camera when you're going to sites, becasue you can always cart pictures outside (maybe while waiting in ridiculously long lines).
No, you can't clutch photos, but many citizens do it.
Here there are more than 6,000 photos something like Sistine Chapel:

No, they hold a "no photo, no video" policy. You cannot video or take pics surrounded by the chapel itself - however the whole dash leading up to the chapel is creased with art that you can photograph.
forbidden
it's a sin
You are irrelevant. They do have culture checking to make sure not a soul is photographing. You can take pictures surrounded by other sections of St. Peter's but I do not presume you can use a flash. no personal cameras allowed.buy postcards, videos, etc surrounded by the gift shop...
It's forbidden for several reason. One because camera flashes damage the painting - it "bleaches" them. Another reason is a copy right one. The Vatican (and other cultural institutions) want to protect their privilege to access the similes within its control. There is a 70 year statue of limitations for painting in Italy. Artists painting are protected for 70 years after their death - after 70 years their art work become public domain. This means that you can photograph any of the classics you see contained by the Vatican and reproduce it for any use you deem appropriate (as long as you quote the source of the image). The Vatican has the no photo rule – yes to protect the painting but mainly to protect its privilege to reproduce the descriptions itself. Obviously there is big money involved here.
