Check back in May or June for "after". I am itching to start, but they are still not ready. This is going to be tempera rather than true fresco. The fresco in the entrance hall (of a family crest, thought to be of a noble family from Napoli) I will touch up only where there are white gaps in the dark surface. It has the date MD XI on it. It was a long stretch back to school and Roman Numerals, but by my reckoning it is 1511. I admit to being hugely relieved when the geometra agreed with me. I wonder if that is a clue to the age of my own house? The house where the beautiful Francesca lives is 800 years old.
