This
video by Giuseppe Basile, director of the ICR, illustrates the recent
restoration work carried out in the Chapel. Compare their state before
and after restoration, find out why it was done, the types of alterations
which were found, and how the frescoes were preserved (cleaning; partial
re-colouring of areas where the frescoed surface has fallen away; removal
of pre-existing stucco work, etc.). Appreciate how certain effects were
created and discover what expert restorers learnt during their work.
