The last time I visited this sculpture in person it was encased in a heavy square perspex box (ca. 1974!) because someone had attacked it. Is the soft glow lower left coming from the perspex?

great picture. i know.. it's difficult to take the pieta's picture behind the glass.

I saw the Pieta once surrounded by a billion cameras. The next morning I got up at six and went back, alone, to truly feel the awe. The glare is OK, it's part of the futility of trying to capture the immensity of the sculpture. In fact, I think a perfect photo is somehow disrespectful--- but I studied English Lit. and tend to over-philosophize these things and sound like a pretentious Shakespearian strumpet.

Hope you're enjoying Italy.
