Facilitated description
The restorer Pinin Brambilla Barcilon restored the mural paintings of the Dome of the Church of San Pietro in Robbio in 1964.
He carried out the tearing of the fresco (transportation of the pictorial layer from the original support, the wall, to a different support).
The restorer and her assistants glued the painting on a new support made of an innovative material for the time.
The technique used was experimental.
The structure used for the new stand is called ''Sandwich'' because it is formed by three layers like those of a sandwich.
