Frescoes

The frescoes were the reason we fell in love with this enchanting house, and the rehabilitation and protection of them a key consideration throughout the construction. Many of the frescoes that you see in the house today are in original condition, yet amazingly they are still fresh and vibrant.

Unfortunately, water damage had destroyed large sections of the frescoes in the formal dining room. The restoration of this room was particularly challenging needing five different passes with the various colours to complete the intricate design. If you look closely at the ceiling in this room you can see that whatever image was originally in the ovals has been removed somewhere along the history of the home. Just why remains a mystery and we have to chosen to leave this section "untouched" as a reminder of the houses past.
