Palma il Giovane - Treviso

The painting on canvas “The Last Supper” attributed to Palma il Giovane was restored as part of the project carried out to renovate the Villa Minelli complex in Ponzano Veneto, Treviso, which are the headquarters of Benetton s.p.a. This project was undertaken by the architects Afra and Tobia Scarpa and professors Laura and Paolo Mora. The painted surface had been darkened following the use of inappropriate varnishes during previous restorations. Furthermore, the canvas suffered from undulation and deformation due to erroneous tensioning on an inappropriate frame. Our intervention was carried out on the painted surface and the canvas support.
