If plans go through and an auditorium and a multistory building are constructed close to the Scrovegni Chapel (also known as the Arena Chapel) in Padua, home to Giotto’s frescos, the stability of the building and its decorations will be compromised. An international campaign is under way to postpone the construction until the Chapel’s foundations can be fortified. English language information about the campaign can be found at http://storiedellarte.com/2012/02/save-giotto-english-version.html

Thanks for the information… hopefully they’ll be able to restore the foundation of the chapel and save the paintings, while still allowing the building to go up.
