Considering the Vatican is in possession of footage from the time of Leo XIII as well as that of Pius XI and possibly something of the other two neglected popes:Pius X and Benedict XV, the slight treatment given is somewhat disquieting.

THE SEDIA GESTATORIA WAS MAINLY USED TO CARRY POPES TO AND FROM PAPAL CEREMONIES IN THE BASILICA OF ST. JOHN LATERAN AND ST. PETER'S BASILICA.
ITS ORIGINS ARE SOMETIMES THOUGHT TO DATE BACK TO BYZANTIUM WHERE BYZANTINE EMPERORS WERE CARRIED ALONG IN A SIMILAR MANNER, BUT MANY SOURCES INDICATE, THE USE OF THE SEDIA IS OF A MUCH EARLIER DATE, PROBABLY BEING DERIVED FROM RITUALS ACCOMPANYING THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ANCIENT ROMAN EMPIRE.
