Vittoriano
Restorers closely analyze the stone surface of the central portion of the frieze, before proceeding with cleaning activities.
It is possible to notice the limestone deposits, due to water infiltration, all over the surface and especially in the joints, between one block and the other, which cause the swelling of the plasterwork and the covering of dark deposits.
The modeled part, which is very projecting and therefore more exposed to weathering, is covered in large areas with very thick layers of lichens.
