Between the Pauline Chapel (Chapel of the Salus Populi Romani) and the Sforza Chapel. He was buried in a single wooden coffin with a zinc interior. No catafalque or papal crosier, and his coffin will remain open and can be visited by the faithful who wish to say goodbye until Friday. This Saturday 26th the funeral will be held at 10:00 am.
