According to PPM –

“I cuniculari hanno forato il quadro centrale, i cui frammenti raccolti dopo lo scavo sono stati ricomposti su un supporto moderno visibile nella parete E.”

(The tunnellers have pierced the central painting, the fragments of which collected after the excavation have been recomposed on a modern support visible in the east wall.)
