Quattro
Coronati Church Frescoes Discovered: It's not often
that something new is discovered in Rome, but it happened in the first
week of November 1999 at the church of Ss. Quattro Coronati. A series of
13th century frescoes, buried under four-century-old layers
of paint, came to light during pre-millennium restoration. The discovery
may alter the history of Western art. Read about the frescoes at http://www.mmdtkw.org/GARfrsco.html.
