Unexpected
At 10 we are operating.
Once in place, however, we find that jute has not adhered well to the canvas below: too hard and too thick texture. We decide to replace it. The day before and the night was very wet and have meant that the glue had not dried on the fabric of the whole.
We obtain a piece of tarlatan to strengthen the throw up. Apply it with animal glue, and then postponed until late afternoon when the glue is dry. The day is sunny and dry.
Let us reflect on the difficulty of detachment, whose legislation is particularly severe because in the past used by the jackals of the frescoes that takes possession of abandoned historic buildings. A practical traumatic to the plaster that is irretrievably broken, although the surface is generally much smoother than that with which we are dealing with us. Operate a detachment requires special permits, granted only in cases of irretrievable degradation of the structure that houses the painting and masonry.
Our situation marks the lawlessness, a cut made on illegal work carried out illegally.
At 17.30 we evaluate the piece lining: we try to scrape the edge with chisels and bribes, but the glue has even penetrated into the plaster surrounding the consolidated: need a flexible Isolated.
reclaim the hose through the Association Madrice always present, ready to find material at any time and day.
At this point you can draw a boundary line as deep as the plaster.
began work with a chisel to widen the track made with flexible and begin to undermine the edges slightly. There
muniamo sabers (in the jargon of the restorer, a long, flat iron bar, used to penetrate plaster, to consume, to keep the raised part while working with other sword in another point). The work is hard, long and complex, in turn limiamo, scratch, we detach gradually plaster. Who is not saber at the time, notes that the instrument is not breaking the surface outcrops, or feels the plaster to try to understand the state.
's almost 20 when we have removed a third party.
At this point we all work, we must be careful to give fragments, the size of the suspended piece, held together by glue paintings. In turn, lean on, saber, we find solutions as a plank of wood as big as the piece to keep adhering to the surface, then it is too high. Create
scaffolding of luck, an old desk, large enough to hold three or four people. By now also the photographer of the field should help us, and this documentary fixed chamber, because he is with us.
We quote the axis under the plaster already gone, having a slight inclination to be ready to place it horizontally.
seem moments, but hours, and at one point: it off.
is a moment where all excited to keep a confused memory of powder and weight rating, agility to leave the scaffolding in place and promptly hands under the shaft.
The photographer is completely white with dust and mortar, but excited.
The piece is very heavy. In five non- we can lift it without risking their safety. We decide for the nth solution of luck: the cellophane!
the big roll passes back and forth around the ends of the spectrum. Somehow we have raised allowing the passage.
The study is near. Raise the axle loads of the piece and painstakingly, with peaks of despair, we reach the room adibitagli. I am 22.30.
Now it's there. With the cloth on the surface, contrary to the theory that he would like the bandages in contact with the axis. We will provide a turn, but to do that we are waiting for materials to create a valid and solid support.
