Small amounts of retouching and detail work could be carried out on the dry plaster, a technique known as a secco fresco. is located behind the smaller tomb on the <a onclick="return OpenOther('/html/m/maso/bardi/index.html')" href="/html/m/maso/bardi/index.html">north wall of the Bardi di Vernio Chapela small separate place for worship, either part of a large church or a separate building.</a> in Santa Croce, Florence.
