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 that took over 25 years
to complete. On the opposite wall to the crucifix will be
hung the recently restored painting "Descent from the
Cross" by the Florentine artist, Giovanni Bizelli, dated
1600 which has been kept in the
Civic Museum next to the Duomo. Another large restored
painting above the alter makes up the third element in what
is going to be a stunning display of religious art which is
to be unveiled to the public next Saturday 25th October.
