And speaking of beautiful things, here is the final part of Nicola’s photos from the on-going show at the Regia di Venaria in Turin, Italy, showcasing artworks and objects that have recently been restored in one way or another. Last week we had first a collection of liturgical objects, followed by medieval and Renaissance paintings; today we finish off with mostly Baroque paintings.
