Volunteers search for pieces of frescoes amid the debris of the collapsed vault of St. Francis Basilica of Assisi, seen in background, Saturday, September 27, 1997. The vault, frescoed by Giotto and Cimabue, collapsed early Friday when a major earthquake struck central Italy. The scaffoldings on the Basilica facade are not related to the quake.
