Cultural officials said she had the best intentions and hoped it could be properly restored.
The woman, in her 80s, was reportedly upset at the way the fresco had deteriorated and took it on herself to “restore” the image.

How was that even exposed enough for people just to take their time and paint over it. Even if it was out in the open, why did no one stop the old lady?

I saw this today and couldn't stop laughing. I'm sure she's just trolling.
