Description: There are five entrances to the Atrium, its roof decorated with exquisite stuccoes. Above the middle doorway is a small ship mosaic, "Navicella", by Giotto; it has almost entirely been redone. The statue of Charlemagne by A. Cornacchini (18th century) makes a background to the left arcade, while in the right arcade is the statue of Constantine by Bernini in 1670. The five doors give access to the Basilica: the central one has bronze panels by Filarete (1433-45); the last on the right is the Holy Door which is only opened in jubilee years (the next one is 2000); the last door on the left (Door of Death) is the work of G. Manzu in 1964; the door on the right of the main door (of the Sacraments) is by V. Crocetti (1965), and that on the left is by L. Minguzzi in 1975.
