Inaugurazion Cappella della Madonna del Molino

A crucifix painted in the later part of the 1400's has finally found its way back onto the wall of the Duomo after being away at Lucca for restoration work.

On the opposite wall to the crucifix, the recently restored painting "Descent from the Cross" by the Florentine artist, Giovanni Bizelli, dated 1600 and on the main wall of the restored chapel, another large restored painting above the alter makes up the third element in what is a stunning display of religious art which was opened to the public this afternoon in a short ceremony at the Duomo.



The chapel had been suffering from earthquake damage and increasing dampness for many years but has now restored back to its original glory thanks to a project from Elisabetta Lorenzini. More images here
