It is said to be the most beautiful work of art that has ever been conceived and made by man. And it is true. Michelangelo created this masterpiece when he was not yet twenty-four years old, daring to sculpt a block of marble, badly hewn and therefore extremely difficult to work due to its shape and the presence of fragile points. Two illustrious predecessors called to this arduous task had already given up after a first attempt. After two years of work carried out away from prying eyes in what today houses the museum of the cathedral, this imposing sculpture is revealed to the eyes of the Florentines, who are amazed at so much magnificence and perfection. The beauty and ingenuity expressed by this work should be kept in the depths of every Italian and proudly push him to be a worthy heir of Michelangelo's artistic genius.
