Description |
English: César Daly undertakes the restoration of the cathedral in 1845 and resigns, his mission accomplished in 1877. The waterproofing of the roof threatens the paintings of the vault. He supervises the restoration of the roof and modifies it. The tiled roofs overhanging the walls as on many buildings are shortened, the walls are raised by seven meters and have a cornice decorated with a vault. They hide the roof from the sight of visitors. The circular buttresses are provided with pinnacles, but protests from the inhabitants lead to their dismantling with the exception of three of them. Français : César Daly entreprend la restauration de la cathédrale en 1845 et démissionne, sa mission accomplie en 1877. Des défauts d'étanchéité de la toiture menacent les peintures de la voute. Il supervise la restauration de la toiture et la modifie. Les toits en tuile débordant des murs comme sur beaucoup d'édifices sont raccourcis, les murs sont haussés de sept mètres et dotés d'une corniche décorée d'une voute. Ils cachent la toiture à la vue des visiteurs. Les contreforts circulaires sont pourvus de clochetons, mais des protestations des habitants entraînent leur démontage à l'exception de trois d'entre eux. Italiano: César Daly intraprende il restauro della cattedrale nel 1845 e si dimette, la sua missione compiuta nel 1877. I difetti di impermeabilizzazione del tetto minacciano i dipinti della volta. Sovrintende al restauro del tetto e lo modifica. I tetti di tegole che sovrastano le murature come su molti edifici sono accorciati, i muri sono rialzati di sette metri e presentano un cornicione decorato a volta. Nascondono il tetto alla vista dei visitatori. I contrafforti circolari sono provvisti di pinnacoli, ma le proteste degli abitanti portano al loro smantellamento ad eccezione di tre di essi.
