Huh. I wonder why Reuters took so long to carry this story. I saw it in the NYTimes almost two weeks ago. (Their story is now expired for web viewing.)
On preview, it was on MeFi before too. posted by stopgap at 11:51 AM on January 27, 2005

I didn't see hear about this before (or see it on here before), so despite its doubelpost status, thanks for the link! posted by Robot Johnny at 12:09 PM on January 27, 2005
Where are the pics? I want the pics! posted by wsg at 12:14 PM on January 27, 2005
Same here, I must've missed it. Very cool. I would LOVE to walk through that room! posted by miss lynnster at 12:23 PM on January 27, 2005
Hopefully someone will hide this thread behind a staircase before someone drags it to MetaTalk! posted by DBAPaul at 12:27 PM on January 27, 2005
I second the " I want pics" of wsg posted by lobstah at 12:43 PM on January 27, 2005
I would sacrifice something precious to walk those rooms as well, but tours will be highly unlikely. I can't see the Italian gov't letting the unwashed masses tromp through the place with their flashing cameras and CO2 emissions.
I will also echo wsg, where are the pics? posted by killy willy at 1:57 PM on January 27, 2005
although a quick Google did bring up this little gem about restoring old frescoes. posted by killy willy at 1:59 PM on January 27, 2005
