Rita Levi Montalcini dedicated a great part of her life to young people, especially young researchers, and though she had no children of her own, she felt that all kinds of young people were like sons and daughters to her.

Rita Levi Montalcini felt that imagination was the "secret sauce" of her research. And this encouraged her to turn to young people, who have plenty of imagination.

Retouching the painting is a very delicate job, and is done in such a way as to be reversible, and respectful to the original.

With techniques available today, it is possible to distinguish the various layers of plaster used on different days of work, to determine in what order the artists and their assistants applied the paint. And during the cleaning, details can come out that were previously not visible, including buildings and even letters of the alphabet.
