Alberto Angela will tell us the story and secrets of the long and careful restoration thanks to which Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua were brought back to their ancient splendor. A "behind the scenes" of a construction site capable of moving. Guests in the studio will be Salvatore Mannone and Gustavo Torreggiani, billiard champions.
