Located in Padua, Italy, the Scrovengi Chapel is a masterpiece in the history of painting in Italy and Europe in the 14th century. The Chapel is considered to be the most complete series of frescoes executed by Giotto in his mature age.

The frescoes, which narrate events in the lives of the Virgin Mary and Christ, cover the entire walls of the Chapel. From the 1970s until today, the state of the building, the quality of the air in it, polluting factors, and the state of conservation of the frescoes themselves have all been subjected to careful study and monitoring.
