Final answer:
The statement in the question is false. A fresco, specially referred to as 'buon fresco,' is a painting done on wet plaster with various pigments, not just in neutral grays. It is a durable form of painting known for its use in monumental art during the Renaissance.
Explanation:
False: The statement that a fresco is a monochrome painting done mainly in neutral grays to simulate sculpture is not correct. A buon fresco refers to the process of applying pigments mixed with water to a layer of wet lime plaster. The color then becomes an integral part of the plaster as it dries. Whereas a fresco done in monochrome is called grisaille and is used to imitate sculpture, it is not the defining characteristic of a fresco. Rather, fresco paintings are noted for their durability since they're embedded into the wall surface.
You may also encounter fresco secco, which is the technique of painting on dry plaster, but this is not as durable as buon fresco. Fresco painting is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process that has been used for thousands of years, famously throughout the Renaissance period to create narrative cycles and biblical stories in large architectural surfaces, like the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo.

Answer:
Guido D’Arezzo
Explanation:
The music theorist, Guido d'Arezzo (992 - 1050) was an Italian monk and conductor of the choir of the Cathedral of Arezzo, Tuscany, having bequeathed a more advanced musical notation to the West. It is due to him, in particular, the name of the notes - ut, ré, mi, fa, sol, lá, si - based on a hymn to Saint John in Latin, as well as the musical score - the pentagram - in force until the our days. In addition, he was the real initiator of solfeggio, an exercise to learn to read notes, usually marking the compass with his hand.
