Symmetrical golden ropes and knots are interwoven with the branches, combining in a unique way the natural growth of plants with abstract geometrical tracing. According to

Too little, will leave the room in an aesthetically unpleasant state, too much will be somehow a “false”. The scientific committee (see below) is debating the issues, guiding and supervising operations.

During the restoration in the 1950s, preparatory drawings for the original painting were uncovered, executed in black over white paint, instead of drawing directly on the plaster. The grounding with white paint is a technique now known to be a characteristic of
Leonardo. Beltrami had considered these

Of the first restoration performed at the beginning of the twentieth century, traces can still be seen in a few spots on the vault. The restoration left the room fully decorated in the vault, with strong trunks on the lateral walls, interrupted by wooden panels. The bright colors puzzled many leading

In 1902, visitors could see the result of this restoration: a wonderful depiction of trunks on the walls and a canopy of branches and leaves on the ceiling. Colors were bright. Immediately critics noted that the “style” did not resemble what they thought was
Leonardo's "typical" style of painting. In

The current name of the room is incongruous. Some experts state that the name was used prior to the painting by
Leonardo. The walls had been covered with wooden planks (in Italian, “asse” means planks), and hence, the hall of the planks had been the name traditionally used to identify the room. Other

The immediate goal was to stop the evident deterioration. In this case, several factors have been identified: humidity from the building, microclimatic changes due to negative interaction (chemical binding) between the substances used for the original painting and the materials used for the various

In the 1950s, partially to appease the critics, a second restoration was conducted by Ottemi della Rotta and executed by the restorer
Ernesto Rusca. Basically, colors were toned down and the room took a more “antique” flavor, which can still be seen. Experts of the scientific committee still have

The long-term goal is to provide a valid “aesthetic restoration”. First of all, painted surfaces must be cleaned and stabilized. Then the problem of “peeling off” layers due to previous restorations and integrating missing spots with new painting (using modern materials, such as watercolor, for
