Farewell to Paola Bracco, a highly skilled conservator and a key figure atthe Opificio delle Pietre Dure, where she helped train generations of conservators and art historians, sharing her professional experience with colleagues and students.
Throughout her long career, she carried out major restoration projects on numerous masterpieces of our artistic heritage, including Cimabue’s Cross and Botticelli’s *Primavera*, Giotto’s Cross of Santa Maria Novella and Cross of Ognissanti, Beato Angelico’s Tabernacle of the Linaioli, and Caravaggio’s Beheading of John the Baptist in Malta.
“Her colleagues remember her for her great energy and sensitivity, her passion and dedication to her work and to her students,” the institute writes on its social media channels. “Her constant enthusiasm and her openness to innovative approaches will always serve as an example and an inspiration for all of us. The entire community of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure joins in these words with deep emotion, including those who were not fortunate enough to know her personally but have appreciated her professional legacy through the memories of her colleagues, her students, and the major restoration projects that bear her signature.”
