News from Italy that Michelangelo's Last Judgement will undergo a 3-month restoration project beginning in January 2026. The work will fall to Paolo Violini, who heads up restoration projects at the Vatican, to undertake a 'lighter and shorter' campaign of work than the previous one that took place between 1979 and 1999. The work is apparently due to finish at the end of March and in time for Holy Week.
