​This long-planned, joint project is being financed by the America-Italy Society of Philadelphia, Venice in Peril, Save Venice, the Dutch Committee, the Comitato Italiano per Venezia and the Austrian Committee.

Firstly, the crucifix has had to be harnessed and lowered by climbers from its position high up in Codussi's Renaissance church. There are no surviving documents relating to this crucifix, but it is possible that it is older than the Gothic church begun in 1458 by Antonio Gambello. The first church here was build in the 9th century.

The crucifix did undergo treatment to eliminate woodworm, x-rays and a chemical analysis. A full condition report and conservation project has be drafted and a call for bids launched to find a firm to carry out the work.
