Looking down across the nave where some of the magnificent frescoes can be found, high up under those windows. We will see more of them, tomorrow, which will be our last day here before continuing our exploration of this city.

Around the same time, that a number of medieval frescoes in the church of St Mary's in Lubeck, Germany, were restored.

Yet, soon, it was revealed that some of the images had been created by a painter who had worked on the restoration. He was treated as a hero, a harmless prankster who had fooled connoisseurs. www.newstatesman.com/200101220010
