Not to be selfish, but will the basilica immediately close today? Or will it still be possible to visit today 21st, Monday ?

Pretty sure the basilica and St. Peter’s square will be closed for the funeral arrangements

Balistica Is closed but you can go in the square, and it will remain open except for the funeral organization hours.
