Michelangelo represents the true essence of the Renaissance Man- a painter, sculptor, architect and poet. He was prolific and lived a long life, becoming one of the most important artists of the 16th century. Together we will visit Casa Buonarroti, the house his relatives rebuilt in his honor where we can see his earliest sculptures and some of his sketches. The tour will then proceed to the Accademia to admire the world famous original David, perhaps the most famous sculpture in the world made from an enormous block of Carrara Marble. Then we will move on to the Medici Chapels with the New Sacristy designed by the great artist and decorated with his majestic sculptures.
