After thirteen weeks on site, cleaning operations on the side portions of the Altar of the Fatherland frieze have been completed. The removal of deposits and biological agents from the Botticino marble has once again made the frieze sculpted by Angelo Zanelli readable.

In the coming weeks restorers will proceed with the work of grouting the cracks between the blocks and finishing on the limestone stains. 

The operations will be conducted simultaneously on the eastern and western sites.
