1 artebellissimo CELEBRATING, SUPPORTING & ENJOYING THE TREASURES OF THE VATICAN MUSEUMS Winter ~ 2016 Ohio Funds 2016 Restoration Project The Ohio Chapter of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums, is proud to announce its latest restoration project for 2016 the Tapestry of Diana by Le Gobelins. This magnificent tapestry was woven between 1728 and 1740 and is based on the design of Pierre-Josse Perrot and was presented to the Duke of Nivernois in 1748 upon his departure to Rome. The presence of Diana in this tapestry transforms it into a celebration of the hunt, which was a popular pastime of the nobility during this time period. The tapestry is made of wool and silk with golden and silver threads and is approximately 12 feet by 9 feet. The restoration work to be completed include micro-vacuuming to remove the dust and pollution, washing in demineralized water and non-ionic surfactant and removal of older interventions that have become harmful to the tapestry. Once this beautiful tapestry is restored to its former glory it will be returned to the Room of Solomon in St. John Lateran. - Tapestry of Diana by Le Gobelins interno letter from the chair new patrons international director patron members at the vatican annual holiday party honoring our ohio members recipe pasta with the patrons spring event new website for our chapter welcome new members upcoming events and calendar P.O.

Daniel is a native Texan and is fluent in both Spanish and Italian due to his work in Venezuela, Mexico and Italy. He has held pastoral, administrative and development roles in his more than 20 years of religious life. Fr. Daniel has been busy in his first few weeks in the Patrons office becoming acquainted with most of the curators and staff of the Vatican Museums. I am hopeful that we will meet our new International Director, Fr. Daniel Hennessy in the coming months. We wish Fr. Mark well as he begins his new assignment in the U.S. with the Legionaries of Christ. Fr. Mark will continue to work with the North American Patrons Office. We are hopeful that we will be seeing more of Fr. Mark now that he will be based in the U.S., and we extend our wishes for a successful transition to Fr. Daniel and the staff of the Patrons office.- 2

3 THE PATRONS OF THE ARTS IN THE VATICAN MUSEUMS, OHIO CHAPTER / WINTER 2016 Patron Members at the Vatican This past November two of our Ohio members traveled to Rome to attend the wedding of a good friend. Kim Vallar Snyderburn and her daughter Carolyn Snyderburn Evans started their journey in late October and enjoyed the beauty of Venice and Florence before arriving in Rome in time for the wedding. Kim and Carolyn were thrilled to receive the special tours and behind the scenes access that are only afforded to Patron members. Kim referred to the Patron emblem label pin as the magic pin. They were able to bypass the long lines at the entrance to the museums twice in one day! - Patron Members Carolyn Snyderburn Evans & Kim Vallar Snyderburn Carolyn & Kim enjoyed the quiet solitude of the Vatican Gardens The Wedding Party in St. Peter's Square 3
