Alessandra Tarantino

Alessandra Tarantino is a photographer for the Associated Press (AP). Her work is currently featured in news articles related to events at the Vatican. Specifically, her photographs are being used to illustrate stories about Pope Leo XIV carrying the cross during the Good Friday procession, a significant event as it's the first time in decades a pope has done so for the entire procession. Additionally, her photographs accompany articles about the Vatican's restoration efforts on Michelangelo's 'The Last Judgment' fresco, showing the scaffolding and replica used during the maintenance. Tarantino's photographs provide visual documentation of these important events, contributing to the news coverage and public understanding of Vatican activities and art preservation efforts.
