Simone Vettori-Il restauro

Simone Vettori is a mural painting restorer. He runs the restoration workshop ICONOS Restauri https://iconosrestauri.it/ and participated in the restorations of frescoes by important pre-Renaissance and Renaissance authors, whether it is Masaccio (Church of Santa Maria Novella, Florence), Giotto (Church of Santa Croce, Florence), Piero della Francesca (Basilica of Saint Francis, Arrezzo) or Raphael (frescoes in the Vatican rooms). In this video produced during the international training camp that he supervised at the Palazzo Piccolomini (February 2023), Simone returns to what differentiates the work of the decorator from that of the heritage painter, and expresses the expectations he may have, in as a restaurateur, with his teams.

And then there was no longer a time when it was freed by its intonation, then finally it was the same. L'affresco è stato riscoperto recently sotto la pala con la Resurrezione di Cristo di Giorgio Vasari, movimentata a volta per un restaurant. This is why it is aggiunge agli altri affreschi ritrovati di Santa Maria Novella scoperti negli ultimi anni anni grazie lavoro degli studiosi (ad oggi, siamo al quarto). Simone Vettori, the professional incaricato of the recupero of the opera 'nascosta' ci spiega in che condizioni versa l'affresco riportando alla lce una storia vecchia di secoli
