		For the Scrovegni Chapel, Giotto was asked to depict a series of stories from the Old and New Testaments, culminating in Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, and the Last Judgement.
		Very little is known about the history of the Chapel from then until the 19th century, when it was almost destroyed as a result of lack of interest on the part of its new owners.
		The restoration project for the Scrovegni Chapel was presented at the City Museum (Eremitani) on June 12 2001.

		Inaugurated on 18th March 2002 with the visit of President Ciampi, the Scrovegni Chapel, restored to its full beauty, is now open for visiting by only 25 visitors at a time.
		The Chapel was built by order of Enrico Scrovegni as an annexe to his mansion, erected in the fourteenth century in the area of the Arena in Padua, over the remains of the Roman amphitheatre.
		After twenty years of experimentation and study, the Chapel has been cleaned, not only removing the damp condensation stains caused by the transpiration of the hundreds of thousands of visitors who have flocked there in the past, but above all halting the dangerous sulphating process which causes crumbling of the plaster.

	Giotto
		The frescoes in the Arena Chapel in Padua are among the most celebrated works in the history of art.
		Giotto's work was a source of inspiration and instruction for generations of painters; it was studied and absorbed by Masaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, artists whose own work was to be of such fundamental importance for the history of European art.
		The Arena Chapel is the most effective place to make a study of Giotto; for it is here he shows the full scope of his artistic revolution.

	Arena Chapel
		The dedication of the Chapel to the Virgin of Charity, referred to in a document of March of 1304 in which Pope Benedict XI granted indulgences to those who visited "Santa Maria del Carità de Arena," was an obvious choice to disassociate the family from taint of greed and miserliness.
		We, thus, can see the Arena Chapel as both a token of Enrico Scrovegni's piety and his contrition for the sins of his father and also as a symbol of his family's status as wealthy merchants who are emulating the aristocracy with the lavish palace and private family chapel.
		Whether this was the case or not, the Chapel with its expanse of unbroken wall surface is ideally suited for the fresco cycle.
