(ANSA) - Turin, September 27 - The Chapel of the Turin Shroud, venerated by Catholics as Christ's winding sheet, was officially reopened in Turin Cathedral Thursday after 21 years of restoration work after it was almost completely destroyed by fire.
Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli cut the ribbon on the entrance to the famed chapel.
He was accompanied by Piedmont Governor Sergio Chiamparino, Turin Mayor Chiara Appendino, the director of the Royal Museums Enrica Pagella and the president of the Compagnia di San Paolo, Francesco Profumo.
Bonisoli said the restoration of the chapel could be a model for other cities.
The restoration cost a total of 30 million euros.
The Turin Shroud was moved to another part of the city cathedral during the restoration, and will now be moved back.
The Shroud is normally heavily guarded in a bullet-proof, climate-controlled glass case....
