The term "baldacchino" refers to a canopy or covering, often supported by columns, typically used to adorn the altar in a church or a significant religious space. It originates from the Italian word "baldacchino," which is derived from "Baldacco," the medieval name for Baghdad, where fine silks were produced. Baldacchinos are often elaborately designed and can be made from various materials, including wood, metal, or fabric, serving both decorative and symbolic purposes in religious architecture.
