(First comments)[edit]

A previous draft of the 'History' section alleged that this staircase was mistakenly attributed to Donato Bramante (1444-1514). Even without citing documentary sources, that's patently absurd - the staircase is a Twentieth Century feature of a Twentieth Century building, part of a fully-recorded project. Even the sculpture on the walls is clearly dated. It's bizarre to suggest that a project completed within living memory could be mistaken for a structure built over 500 years ago.

I actually took the liberty of changing the information on the main page. I have not idea how to get Wikipedia to change the name of the page to "double helix staircase" or to set up an accurate page with information about the real Bramante Staircase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbaraleary (talk • contribs) 15:31, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re-write[edit]

I've re-written this to make it clear the distinction between the modern staircase and Bramante's original, as it was a bit jumbled before. Moonraker12 (talk) 19:45, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

French version of this article - link to Dante?[edit]

Ramp or staircase?[edit]

So is it a ramp or a staircase? Most of the article describes it as stairs, but in the photos it sure looks like a ramp - which would make sense if it was designed for pack animals to walk up it. Ytpete (talk) 01:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
