Restored Mattia Preti Fresco unveiled in Naples
May 20 2021
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
A recently restored fresco by Mattia Preti (1613-1699) on the Porta San Gennaro in Naples has been revealed to the public. This latest campaign of restoration was begun in September 2019, by the company AReN, and continued throughout the pandemic. It was during the 1990s when the fragile wall painting was last conserved, a ritual that must be undertaken every few decades as this area of the city suffers greatly from pollution from fumes.
