Porsche Rented The Sistine Chapel For a Corporate Event

Forty people were treated to dinner and classical music on Porsche’s dime Saturday night in Rome. Which doesn’t sound like a big deal until you realize it was in Vatican City – and in the Sistine Chapel.

Porsche is the first firm to hold a private event at the Sistine Chapel, according to Automotive News. It’s the first time in its 600-year history the chapel has been rented out, part of an initiative by Pope Francis to raise funds to charities assisting those in need.

The Porsche event cost each guest 4,590 euros (October 15-19) or 4,990 euros (October 17-21) and also includes a two-day driving event in Rome.
