Here's one from the "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!" files...an elderly woman was recently found to have totally destroyed a 19th century fresco of Jesus after a botched attempt and restoring the piece. The woman had no knowledge of restoration and was not asked by the owners to do the work. Historians say the act wasn't malicious but misguided....I'd be inclined to agree.
