On this guided tour, guests can admire works of art by Michelangelo, included one of the most famous statues in the world, the David. See other important works as well, such as I Prigioni, San Matteo, and the Palestrina Pieta. The young Michelangelo carved the David from a huge block of rough marble in three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the renaissance model. He depicted a magnificent nude young man at the height of his physical vigor, whose intense expression of strength and courage, which originated from an absolute faith in God, rose as a symbol of power and invincibility of the Florentine Republic at the time of its maximum splendor.
