15th century frescoes being restored--and 17h century grafitti removed

A 17th-century workman, for example, had added his own graffiti touches to the frescoes before covering them over, including one that is familiar to school toilets across the western world: a depiction of a full set of male genitalia scratched into an angel’s wing.  Carmen Pérez, head of Valencia’s conservation institute, told El Mundo newspaper, “The truth is that we have barely advanced over the centuries.” (INDEED! Consciousness on this planet remains very low overall.) “They are exactly the same as you would find today in public toilets.”
