"Armenian Pastoral", a 1973 mural by famed Armenian artist Minas Avetisyan that was destroyed in the 1988 earthquake is being painstakingly restored under an agreement signed by the cultural ministries of Italy and Armenia.
The Italian and Armenian experts restoring the mural are being led by Fabrizio Iacopini a lecturer at the Palazzo Spinelli Art and Restoration Institute in Florence and a renowned restorer in his own right.
The material used to put the pieces of the wall mural back together is a mysterious Italian concoction made by boiling bull bones until the right consistency is reached.
The Armenia student restorers joke and say it's like khash (a meal made of boiled pig or lambs feet and other innards).
