The pastor of the church
is in charge of the fresco.

:06:10
I'll introduce you. He's a
good person. You'll like him.

:06:12
This church was built,
destroyed and rebuilt 6 times.

:06:31
Many times I threatened
to leave...

:06:35
...but here I stay.
:06:39
Solmi says you have done
a wonderful job here.

:06:42
Thank you, he's kind.
Yes, this church

:06:45
used to be an embarrassment!
A mess!

:06:48
There were even cadavers
piled in here

:06:51
from past funerals. I had
my work, yes. It was a mess.

:06:54
After everything was cleaned up,
I hired the local artist, Legnani,

:06:58
to paint a giant fresco
of St. Sebastian.

:07:03
But there were many
problems, and the painting

:07:07
remains unfinished.
Here, see what you think.

:07:22
I am amazed! What an artist!
:07:25
To have done such a job!
It's breathtaking!

:07:32
It's truly magnificent!
:07:34
But Legnani had a problem.
He was eccentric.

:07:38
Legnani couldn't even
get dressed by himself.

:07:41
His mind was somewhere else.
:07:45
God gave him an amazing
talent, but he abused it!

:07:53
They used to say he's crazy...
...maybe that's true.
