Saving Da Vinci's Last Supper from air pollution
2011-11-23
Having survived long centuries, political upheaval, and even bombings during World War II, Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece Last Supper now faces the risk of damage from air pollution due to its location in one of Western Europe's most polluted cities.

The best way to market fine wine: Teach and learn or wine and dine?
2011-11-23
