This exhibition offers the opportunity to compare the original of Michelangelo's Pietà Bandini, recently restored, the Vatican Pietà , made when Michelangelo was 22, and the Pietà Rondanini, from the Sforza Castle Museums collection. A journey longer than fifty years, that leads us from the ambition of the young man who carved his name on the chest of the Madonna in the Vatican version to the personal identification of the elderly artist, who in that of the Opera del Duomo Museum depicts himself in Nicodemus. Close to his own death, Michelangelo meditated deeply on the Passion of Christ. The sublime result of this spiritual meditation was the execution of the Pietà Rondanini.
In this guided tour, we will discover - The Baptistery of St. John, one of the oldest monuments of the city. You will be able to admire its golden mosaics, its exquisite marble floorings and the lavish Zodiac, rich in mysteries and meaning. After the Baptistery, we will take a tour of -The " Duomo": A visit inside the Cathedral to understand the origins and the history of the religious heart of Florence.
