I've been looking at the website for months in order to book tickets for the Scrovegni Chapel in November and the website is only taking reservations through October. Does anyone know if the chapel will be closed in November?

Could be that future dates aren't posted yet. You could call them (6-hour time difference).

You may want to do a search. I read a short while ago that a lightning strike had damaged the Chapel. It was closed for awhile. Not sure if or when it re-opened.

If you Google "Scrovegni chapel damage" there are several articles about the chapel being hit by lightning on Aug 8, although that only became public on Aug 28. Evidently the electrical system was damaged, but it seems unknown whether the frescoes are damaged or at risk. I could not tell from these articles whether the chapel had been closed, or is now closed, or might yet be closed.
