After the Cardinals have successfully elected a new Pope, white smoke is released from the chimney and the bells of the Sistine Chapel are rung to indicate that a decision has been made. This is the first public announcement that a new Pope has been elected. Next the Proto-Deacon of the College of Cardinals walks out on a balcony and officially announces that they have a chosen a Pope and says who it is. Usually, there is no release of official results. So you won't see who voted for who, or how many votes, etc. But Cardinal sometimes informally talk about the elections later and people can take an honest guess at the results.
Michelangelo began as a sculptor and completed many commissions for the Pope and the Medici family. When Pope Julius II asked him to paint the Sistine Chapel it was something he could not refuse.

The name means Veronica the sixth- as in a series of Monarchs, like Henry Viii or Charles VII ( easy to recall, as the word Charles has seven letters).- There is no Queen or Princess Royal with this handle, to my knowledge. Sixtus ( same meaning- the sixth) was a Renaissance Pope who was responsible for ( with the able works of Michaelangelo) the construction and painting of the Sistine Chapel. When I was a kid, by a fals analogy with ( sisters) (and there are such things as Lady chapels- for Women) - I thought it was a Convent or a convent chapel at the Vatican, no, it was named in honor of Pope Sixtus. I don"t know about Veronica Sixtus- Veronica Spector is , of course Rock and Roll hall of fame inductee and the lead singer of the Ronettes.
