The Crucifix by Benedetto da Maiano was back on the main altar of the Cathedral of Florence, after a restoration which lasted four years. The restoration has found out the original polycromy which was covered during the XIX century when they wanted to give the illusion of a bronze crucifix. A new blue band around the hips, similar to the original one, was recreated, giving the statue of Christ a beautiful effect.
