WAR DAMAGES TO SICILIAN MUSEUMS AND ART OBJECTS

An early survey of art in Sicily by military government indicates that much has escaped destruction by war and that some of the museum buildings are little damaged. Greek and Roman material came through fairly well; Renaissance and Baroque suffered most. Works of art housed in churches and monasteries of the four main cities—Palermo, Syracuse, Trapani, and Catania—have been removed for safety, but the other cities report art works intact.

In Palermo the Norman buildings are little affected by recent events. The Palatine Chapel of the Royal Palace and the Mosaic Chapel in Monreale, just outside the city, are intact. Frescoes in the churches of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Joseph, and St. Salvatore are seriously damaged. The National Library was badly damaged. Many of the books had been removed, and others that were buried in the rubble have been rescued. The Archives of State, housed in two buildings on the waterfront, was severely damaged. Many of the documents are buried in the ruins. The former curator has been empowered by Allied authorities to excavate as much of the material as he can. He has 25 men helping. At the botanical gardens, many trees were destroyed, and rare plants have been lost because of lack of water and care.

At Marsala the cathedral still stands with its eight Flemish tapestries, which had been removed, are unharmed. Greek remains in Selinunte, Agrigento, and Segesta were not damaged. The museum on the Nelson estate, which was little damaged, although there has been some pilfering of smaller objects such as vases. Another private museum on the island of San Pantaleo, across from Marsala, is undamaged.

The Grant School House, Georgetown, Ohio, was reopened as a house museum on October 10 after major repairs and restoration. Two rooms are now complete: a school room of Grant's boyhood, and an exhibition room with case material and pictures illustrating Grant's career from childhood to the presidency.
