https://3speak.tv/watch?v=gianmarcobarel/agbhzige Conegliano - Restoration of the Porta Leone On the ancient eastern entrance to the city, along Via Beato Ongaro, stands the historic Porta Leone.On its outward-facing façade, two historically significant coats of arms are clearly visible: on the left, the emblem of the city of Conegliano; on the right, the coat of arms of the Podestà Alvise Loredan, dated 1530—the year the portal was most likely created. At the center rises the majestic winged Lion of Saint Mark, symbol of the Venetian Republic. This fresco is attributed to Giovanni Antonio De Sacchis, known as Il Pordenone, one of the masters of the Renaissance. The restoration project has successfully consolidated the frescoed surfaces, removed grime and surface degradation, and restored the legibility of the iconographic details—including both coats of arms and the Lion—returning the monument to its former splendor and reaffirming its role as a historic and artistic landmark at the city’s entrance. Conegliano - Restauro della Porta Leone Sull’antico ingresso est della città, in via Beato Ongaro, si erge la storica Porta Leone. Sulla facciata che accoglie i visitatori, si distinguono chiaramente due stemmi di grande rilevanza storica: a sinistra lo stemma della città di Conegliano, a destra lo stemma del Podestà Alvise Loredan 1530, anno in cui venne probabilmente realizzata. Al centro, svetta maestoso il Leone alato di San Marco, emblema della Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia, dipinto con grande vigore espressivo. L’affresco di Giovanni Antonio De Sacchis, noto come il Pordenone, uno dei più originali interpreti del Rinascimento veneto . L’intervento di restauro ha permesso di consolidare le superfici affrescate, rimuovere incrostazioni e alterazioni superficiali, e ripristinare la leggibilità iconografica degli stemmi e del Leone, restituendo al monumento il suo antico splendore e riaffermando il suo ruolo di simbolo storico e artistico all’ingresso della città.
