With a 40 € donation you can pay one hour work of a conservator – restorer to carry on extremely delicate and urgent interventions. For example removal of termites’ galleries created over the painted surface or the consolidation of flaking and delaminating painting.
With a 50 € donation you can cover the cost of a meter of fence essential to protect the area above the 70 painted tombs. This area is currently open and accessible to anyone (including robbers).
With a 300 € donation you can pay one year of vegetation control treatment to eliminate roots, insects and microorganism that actively damage the painted surfaces.
With a 650 € donation you can cover the cost of a insulating door, important to limit people and animal access to the tomb and to ensure a stable interior microclimate (essential for the preservation of the paintings)
