Description
|
Pietro Bornia consolidated the figurative areas of all four depictions of the saints, and his assistant Lorenzo Sferco worked on the decorative areas. There are no documents attesting to the restored parts and the work performed. A segment of the ciborium dome was certainly restored, whereas the missing parts were integrated with mortar and painted with matching colours for a seamless look. The right rear corner of the mosaic surface was consolidated with numerous tiles plastered on the mortar bed with the help of small bronze clamps (BERNARDI 2006, I mosaici della basilica eufrasiana pp. 37, 228).
