Capodilista had already noted the great care Giotto devoted to even the finest details, such as the fair hair covering Christ's torso in the Crucifixion, the camels' whiskers in the Adoration of the Magi, the weaving of the tablecloth in the Marriage at Cana. "These details could not be seen from the ground without binoculars," she says, "but somehow you can guess they are there.

Fifty-seven corpses were found crammed into six burial vaults. (Each vault is designed to hold just one adult-size coffin.) So far, a skull and torso have been found in the Marshes' pond, where locals used to fish...
