Conferenza Episcopale Italiana funds restoration of Estasi di San Giuseppe da Copertino

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Italian Episcopal Conference is providing the funds necessary to restore the painting Estasi di San Giuseppe da Copertino at the Sacro Convento in Assisi. The 1753 work by Andrea Benedetto Fornioni depicts the levitation of San Giuseppe da Copertino before the Madonna della Concezione.

The painting currently suffers from a state of preservation that makes the image difficult to read. Sergio Fusetti will lead the restoration project, which includes cleaning, consolidation, lining, and pictorial reintegration.
