Renaissance frescoes

I am doing a project for an upper year art history course at
University in Renaissance Studies and I would like some information
about the restoration, conservation of frescoes from this period.
What kind of funding is available for that sort of restoration
project, and where do the funds come from? What are the issues
regarding visible vs. invisible restoration?  Would the restoration
be done by a private company, or a museum or university program?  Or
would it be part of a public works project, or all of the above? If
anyone could direct me to sources in print or on the Internet I
would really appreciate it. Also if anyone has personal experience
restoring frescoes and would like to speak to me directly that would
be great too. Thanks in advance,

Sara Saganace
