Porsche Holds a Concert in the Sistine Chapel

On Saturday Porsche AG became the first company to rent the Vatican's Sistine Chapel in Rome for a corporate event.

Pope Francis is allowing the historic chapel to be used for private functions, with fees going to charities that specialize in aid to the poor.

Porsche offered about 40 members of its travel club an evening of classical music and a tour of the facility at €5,000 per ticket. The Sistine Chapel and its famous Michelangelo-painted ceiling attract about 25,000 visitors per day.
