Michelangelo's Pietà is now enclosed in a glass case primarily to protect it from damage and deterioration, especially after a vandalism incident in 1972 when a mentally disturbed man attacked the sculpture, chipping off a piece of Mary's nose. The glass case provides a controlled environment, safeguarding the marble from environmental factors such as humidity, temperature fluctuations, and pollutants. Additionally, this enclosure enhances the viewing experience by allowing visitors to appreciate the sculpture while ensuring its preservation for future generations.

Why are solar cookers covered by a glass plate?
This effect results in the heating of enclosed spaces into which the sun shines through a transparent material such as glass or plastic. Visible light easily passes through the glass and is absorbed and reflected by materials within the enclosed space. The light energy that is absorbed by dark pots and the dark absorber plate underneath the pots is converted into longer wavelength heat energy and radiates from the interior materials. Most of this radiant energy, because it is of a longer wavelength, cannot pass back out through the glass and is therefore trapped within the enclosed space.
The sculpture Pieta was created by who?
Michelangelo did the Pieta. When it was placed in St. Peters no one knew who had done it, so he went in at night and on the Madonna's sash he wrote his name. The Pieta is still located in St. Peters today in Rome and you can view it. When I first saw it in 1972 it was sitting in the center of the floor near the doors in St. Peters, but a few years later a man took a hammer to it and broke parts of it. It has been repaired, but today it is behind glass and you can not get close to it like I once did. It is a wonder to see.
