Opening doors at the Vatican Museums

"It's one of the busiest tourist sites on Earth, but at 5 a.m., Gianni Crea has it much to himself.

"His job here is as ancient as his tools; He's a clavigero, or key man. He and his team are responsible for opening 300 doors at the Vatican Museums every morning.

"There are nearly 2,800 keys in his charge. He's the first in the famed Gallery of Maps."

A recent CBS Evening News report profiled Mr. Crea and his ministry.
