Can one of the most important Italian Renaissance frescoes reduced in hundreds of thousand fragments by a bombing during the Second World War be re-composed after more than 60 years from its damage? Can we reconstruct the missing parts and can we say something about their original color?
In this talk we would like to exemplify, hopefully effectively by taking advantage of the seduction of art, how mathematics today can be applied in real-life problems which were considered unsolvable only few years ago.
