The present appearance of the chapel is due to operations overseen in the final years of the 19th century by Luca Beltrami, part of a more extensive project to restore the building, focused very much on the façade. Beltrami was responsible for relocating Theodolinda’s tomb against the back wall of the Chapel (after removal of the large Baroque altar, which had damaged some of the painted decoration), the creation of the reliquary-altar housing the iron crown (partly funded by the royal family), the new flooring (designed by Augusto Brusconi) and the tall iron gate/railings which replaced the earlier balustrade. On this occasion, the Monza photographer Carlo Fumagalli (who subsequently ran the Montabone studio in Milan, together with Gigi Bassani) compiled the first systematic photographic record of the whole cycle of paintings. This served as a basis for the first modern monograph on the Chapel, produced by Fumagalli with the collaboration of Luca Beltrami (1891).
