FERRARI SUPPORTS RESTORATION OF ‘MAESTÀ DI ASSISI’ FRESCO IN THE BASILICA OF ST. FRANCIS.

Ferrari champions the conservation of a work of huge historical and artistic significance for Italy and the world. Cimabue’s fresco ‘Madonna Enthroned with the Child, St Francis and Four Angels’ – known as the ‘Maestà di Assisi’ – is to be carefully restored in a project entirely made possible by Ferrari.

The conservation program will start next January and is expected to last around a year. The work is being led by a team from specialist firm Tecnireco, under the direction of Sergio Fusetti, Head Restorer at the Basilica of St Francis of Assisi, in partnership with Umbria’s Archaeology, Fine Art and Landscape Authority.
