He intensely disliked painting, yet Michelangelo's frescoes are perhaps the best known works of art in the Western world. Art historian Laura Johnson presents the method of frescoing with several works of art leading up to Michelangelo's Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. This 500-year-old masterpiece is scheduled to be cleaned in 2026 due to the impact of excessive tourism. Laura also focuses on the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, where damage from a terrible earthquake in 1997 required over two years of painstaking restoration in which 300,000 sherds were pieced together. Laura experienced the emotional impact when the first Mass took place in the Basilica's crypt.
