This lamp in the Sotoportico San Geminiano in the Ala Napoleonica hangs from a long iron bar which is completely oxidised. Parts of the bronze have also been corroded and covered in guano.
The Comité Français de Sauvegarde Venice (the French Save Venice Committee) has launched a project to restore the building, suported by the Napoleon Foundation.
