Are you living in Monaco, or visiting this month? Monaco Tribune invites you to take a look at the Principality from a different angle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During August, the pace in the Principality gradually slows down a little. The major summer events are over, appointments are fewer and farther between, and it’s holiday time for most people! To mark this unique month, Monaco Tribune has put together an equally unique guidebook! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Discover the Casino’s heritage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monte-Carlo Casino has a very rich artistic heritage<\/i> – \u00a9 Monte-Carlo SBM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, going to the Casino de Monte-Carlo might not seem like much of an original idea. Although it is no doubt Monaco’s best-known building<\/a>, it is possible to see it from another angle. Monaco Tribune recently published several articles on the cultural heritage of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Bains de Mer, including the Casino. In particular, we revealed the secrets of its paintings.<\/a> Its Belle-\u00c9poque fa\u00e7ade and refined gaming rooms feature many works of art. These are mostly paintings, and you have to look up to see them, on the ceilings! The large, colourful canvases were produced between 1863 and 1910. The styles and influences have a common them, that of the female form. Come and see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a very unusual activity and one that we rarely get the chance to observe. Until October, a number of conservation and restoration specialists will be paying close attention to the ceiling in the Throne Room of the Prince’s Palace<\/a>. High up on the scaffolding, centimetre by centimetre, they are touching up the different frescoes, featuring several mythological scenes. In total, some twenty specialists are working on a five-day rota. These works of art date back to the Renaissance, and watching them being restored, in real time, is a real treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
