Small amounts of retouching and detail work could be carried out on the dry plaster, a technique known as a secco fresco. is associated with the fresco decoration of the Chapter Housein English cathedrals and monasteries, a room or hall for meetings of the chapter (governing body); usually polygonal or round in plan. in San Francesco, Siena.
