  This paper obtains criteria for a Fano variety X with normal crossing
singularities defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic
zero, to be smoothable. The difference with the original version is that the
theory of logarithmic structures and deformations is used in order to prove
that X is smoothable by a smooth variety, if and only if T^1(X)=O_D, where D is
the singular locus of X.
