Two months ago a team of scientists in Italy announced they had reconstructed a skeleton found 30 years ago under the Florence Cathedral. It was Giotto, they said. Now an an American art historian who led excavations under the cathedral in the ’70s has written to the church’s cardinal to debunk the claim. “For heaven’s sake, your eminence, do not treat it as Giotto. You risk blessing and honouring the bones of a fat butcher.” – The Guardian
