S. Francesco a Ripa - Rome

The Annunciation Chapel in the church of S. Francesco a Ripa in Rome was decorated in 1602 by Giovan Battista Ricci, who was known as “Il Navarra” . The decoration consists of frescoes, stuccoes and stone elements. A panel painting by Antoniazzo Romano called the “Annunciation” is located above the altar (see section "Paintings on wood and canvas"). We restored all the frescoes, stuccoes and stone materials in the chapel who had been damaged over the years by water infiltrations and previous unsuccessful restoration interventions.
