A workshop in Spoleto to restore works affected by the earthquake

Restoration workshop for works of art affected by the earthquake in the Barberini Room of the Diocesan Museum in Spoleto.

The initiative was conceived and desired byArchbishop Renato Boccardo and Norcia restorer Emanuela D’Abbraccio, whose home has been declared permanently uninhabitable.
In addition, in Norcia, D’Abbraccio had her restoration workshop under the sacristy of St. Mary’s Co-Cathedral, which was destroyed by the earthquake.

Boccardo proposed that the restorer continue her work inside the Diocesan Museum in Spoleto, allowing visitors to follow the restoration work; she is now restoring a seventeenth-century canvas by Anastasio Fontebuoni depicting the Madonna and Child among Saints, a painting pulled from the rubble of the church of St. Augustine in Norcia.
Scheduled for restoration is the 15th-century Talking Christ that was placed in the Co-Cathedral of St. Mary and Michelangelo Carducci ’s Resurrection of Lazarus in the basilica of St. Benedict.

Archbishop Boccardo said the restoration workshop in the Diocesan Museum of Spoleto is "a further sign of hope for these territories of ours that have been harshly tried by the earthquake and as soon as possible eager to return to normality."
