| Summary: | A fixing process for a plaster that had detached from its support was employed during restoration of fabrizio boschi's fresco of the "last supper", on the south wall of the ancient refectory of the former bonifacio hospital in florence. The method involves filling of cavities by insertion of stainless steel bolts into previously existing holes, where the plaster was already missing. This system presents considerable advantages, as the total weight of the matter inserted between the plaster and the arriccio is negligible. Illustrations. |
