Kyriakos Pittakis


{Closed peer review page}}. Listing for peer review with a view towards an FAC nomination. In many ways this is similar to my recent nomination of Panagiotis Kavvadias: Pittakis was one of Kavvadias' predecessors as head of the Greek Archaeological Service. However, where Kavvadias was a master politicker, bureaucrat and administrator, Pittakis was more rough-and-ready: my favourite anecdote from this article is how, frustrated by the high cost of carrying out restorations 'properly', he and a friend decided to get a ladder and a large saw and shorten an ancient column themselves - nearly collapsing the building and jamming the saw inside the column for two centuries.
