ANCIENT PICTURES
WILL SETTLE DISPUTE
RIMINI, Italy, March 15.—Portraits
of Italy’s two greatest poets, Dante
and Petrarch, have been discovered in
the church of St. Augustine. The
likenesses represent the poets in their
youth and form part of large fresco
paintings made in the 14th century by
students, it is supposed, of the cele
brated Giotto and'covered over in 1630
after the Black Death pest of that
year when the walls of many hundreds
of 'Churchs in Italy were witewashed.
Independent of the artistic value of
the frescoes, it is stated they will be
preserved in order to settle disputes
as to the appearance of the tw'o poets
when young.
