Description
Restorers launch a groundbreaking project in Florence's historic Baptistery of Saint John, allowing visitors a unique view of its glittering mosaics, including a three-headed Satan which inspired the Italian poet Dante. For the next six years, tourists will be able to climb a specially engineered, mushroom-shaped scaffold to examine up close over 1,000 square metres of richly coloured and gold biblical depictions in the dome. "We have decided to be inclusive, and so the restoration that we will perform will be totally visible to the public. It will be an open restoration," Samuele Caciagli, the architect in charge of managing the project says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
