Palazzo Vecchio the exhibition ’Michelangelo and Power’: 50 works on display

The exhibition also offers a look at Michelangelo's lost works, such as the famous Faun and the Sleeping Cupid, told through two previously unpublished marble sculptures attributable to sixteenth-century artists and coming from private collections. Of great charm is the plaster cast gallery dedicated to the artist, which features casts of some of his most famous sculptures, such as the candlestick angel created during his stay in Bologna.

 Among the beautiful plaster models, the cast of Bacchus, of the Vatican Pietà and the bust depicting Michelangelo from the art studio of Massimo Galleni in Pietrasanta are also on display.

 Among the works on display, the visitor will also be able to admire the casts of the famous Slaves, the Bearded and the Dying, the Night of the Medici Chapels and the monumental head of the David of Piazza Signoria, which reflects the symbol of the defense of the Florentine Republic.
