Hi John,Thank you for posting!
The first steps should be documenting the frescoes, taking photoes (post them here) of the frescoes and researching the artist(s) names as well as history behind them.
Restorations are time consuming and costly, so community involment and "landmarking" the frescoes will be esential to gather support finatial and else.
Our Fresco Studio School has joined forces and studios with leading fresco restorer - Nathan Zakheim (more at http://truefresco.org) and we would be glad to discuss your needs and help with what we can.
As an artist you may consider taking our Professional Fresco Workshop to get the idea and principles of fresco restoration (our workshop includes Nathan Zakheim's seminar)
