Conservation and research in the portico

 
In 2000, some of the marbles and inscriptions in the portico of San Lorenzo in Lucina  were cleaned and consolidated under the guidance of Agneta Freccero  (University of Göteborg). 

Some of the inscriptions were studied by Anna Blennow (Univeristy of Göteborg) - see  separate page.
