After five years a As Long As it took Renaissance artists Federico Zuccari and Giorgio Vasari to paint them a the 16th-Century frescoes inside the cupola of Florence s famed Cathedral have been restored. All that time up on scaffolding a a Filippo Brunelleschi Brick red dome soars about 30 stories above Florence a also allowed experts to study the dome itself an engineering Marvel today As Well As in 1438, when it was completed atop the Green White and red marbled Cathedral. For years some architects and Art historians worried the cupola the very Symbol of Florence s Art world was splitting apart like a giant Melon. But experts now say the latest Survey found no cause for alarm. They be even invited common mortals to have a look up on the 16 Levels of scaffolding that make the cupola look like an inside out Beehive swathed in netting. Beginning tuesday about a Hal dozen people at a time were Able to ride an elevator up 165 feet to the lowest level of scaffolding. That s where Zuccari painted his horned devils and suffering faces of the damned in his answer to Michelangelo s last judgment in the sistine Chapel. To get a View of Vasari s heaven you then must tackle a series of narrow wooden ladders for another 100 feet or so. It s not for the fainthearted but then it s not exactly comfortable to Crane your neck and squint your eyes from the Cathedral floor below. That s what visitors will have to resort to once again when the scaffolding comes Down from the $5.8 million restoration in june.

Parts of the country s leading painting gallery were closed for weeks and some works Are still under restoration. Twenty or so stories up visitors come nose to nose with Angels and can see How Zuccari changed his final version from sketches. As often happens when centuries of dirt and Candle smoke Are gently dabbled away restorers had a few surprises. Quot working Inch by Inch the secrets came out Quot said Cristina Aidini one of the restorers. Quot Zuccari had covered Over entire figures painted by Vasari Quot who died in 1574 after two years of work on the frescoes.
