English term or phrase: leather door
"You push open with difficulty a heavy ***leather door*** and here you are in Saint Peter's. Nothing in the world can be compared to this interior."

Scusate l'ignoranza, ma le porte di San Pietro non sono in bronzo? Qualcuno può svelare l'arcano? Grazie

Schermo in pelle
Explanation:
A San Pietro c'erano dei grandi "lenzuoli" di pelle passata la porta vera e propria, anche se ora non si usano più. Presumo che fossero lì per riparare dal vento.

Essere cresciuti a 500 m da San Pietro talvolta torna utile.

Ah... ora che ci penso, ora credo che ci siano delle porte vere e proprie ricoperte di pelle (sempre dopo quelle di bronzo), per cui la traduzione è proprio letterale.

E' come un divano in pelle, ma solo a forma di porta. Non so se il paragone aiuta a visualizzarla... c'è un'intelaiatura in legno ricoperta in pelle coon tanto di "bottoncini" tipo "divano.

Explanation:
A reference to his very short reign are the roses on the plinth and the words Sic Floruit. In correspondence to the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in the right aisle, closed by the heavy padded leather curtain, is the Chapel of the Choir, where the choir of the Julian Chapel sings on Sundays during High Mass. Built into one of the piers on the left is the only papal monument transferred here from the Old St. Peter's, the fine tomb of Pope Innocent VIII by Pollaiolo, dating from the end of the XV century. On a dark plaque of marble at the base of the monument, we read that this Pope witnessed the discovery of the New World. That is incorrect because Pope Innocent VIII died on July 25th, 1492 and Columbus did not sail from Spain until August 3rd. This is, in any case, the first reference to America in St. Peter's.
