Fresco vandalised in Albania
More on the damage to Onufri (Onoufrios) fresco
From a poem written in Berat in 1992, on Albania and the icons of Onufri:
The icons of Onufri
Repay the journey to Berat.
A later work, anonymous,
Shows Christ between two minarets.
Unity comes first, it states,
Before the Crescent or the Cross...
(from Corfu Blues, Ars Interpres, 2006)
Thanks to June Samaras for the news alert
