# Firefighters at the Vatican installed a chimney on top of the Sistine Chapel to be used during the conclave that begins on 7 May. Cardinals vote in secret for a new pope and reveal to the waiting world the outcome by burning the ballots in a special stove, with the chimney emitting black smoke if no one has been elected, or white smoke if there is a new pope. Cardinals from around the world have been called back to Rome following the death of Pope Francis on 21 April.
