More than 900 art pieces recovered in Umbria, Italy

An expert checks a painting rescued from the earthquake at a facility in Umbria, Italy on Nov 17, 2016. More than 900 art pieces have been recovered in the facility, and experts would expect another full month of intense rescue work. The activity was coordinated by the regional Archaeological, Arts, and Landscape Superintendence in cooperation with art professionals from the Culture Ministry, civil protection's technicians, firefighters -- who physically carry out the recovery -- and the Heritage Protection Unit of the Carabinieri police. The facility was provided with big exhaust fans to keep temperature at 20 degrees and 55 percent of humidity, the best conditions for wooden artefacts that make the majority of the collection.
