 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.
