GIOTTO OR NOT?

Scholars are arguing about whether the bones found under the Duomo in Florence are those of Renaissance painter Giotto. Those who believe it’s the painter base their identification on “an analysis of the skeleton. Reconstructing the face, they came up with a strong likeness to what may or may not be a Giotto self-portrait in a fresco.” A planned reburial of the bones was put on hold while the identity got sorted out, but now it’s on again for Jan. 8, the anniversary of the painter’s death. – Nando Times
