Close-ups of that dodgy restoration

August 23 2012

 

The lady filmed by the fountain is the 'restorer'. She says she needs more time to 'finish' her work. No!

Someone should do a Downfall-type spoof on this.

Here's my contribution to the story on BBC radio earlier today, 1 hr 57 minutes in here.

Update: apparently there's a petition to keep the fresco as it is. Great idea - it should become the town's new masterpiece. you can even follow the fresco on Twitter.
