Michelangelo left hidden gems across Florence, Rome, and Milan that most tourists never find. This Italy travel guide reveals 10 masterpieces you can still visit today, from a rejected drunk god in the Bargello to the last sculpture his hands ever touched. 

Most people spend four hours in Florence and see exactly one Michelangelo work. This video finds ten more, scattered across churches with no lines, chapels most visitors walk past, and museums that rarely appear on any itinerary.

The discussion is the pope asking Michelangelo if he sees
god the same way his painting portrays God as gracious. Michelangelo says yes and the pope says he sees God as a harsh individual.

I would add: Michelangelo‘s most important early work, the 53-inch wooden Crucifix in the Basilica of Santo Spirito in Florence - he was like 17 I believe when he made it.

Thanks! If I could handle travel (all the walking and climbing) I’d spend a whole summer in Italy, and all these would be on the itinerary, along with some ancient sites (huge surprise there) on the mainland and some of the islands.

Oddly enough, there’s a new topic here about “tipping culture” that we terrible Americans are spreading across the Earth.
