“In the Val d’Intelvi, lying between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, numerous examples of altar frontals survive, made with the scagliola technique by Intelvi masters. Numerous workshops of Intelvi-Ticino scagliola artists (Solari, Leoni, Rapa, Pancaldi, Molciani, Retti, etc.) developed the invention of scagliola and produced tables, cabinets and, above all, decorated altars and frontals”.
