In Florence, the restoration of the grave of Michelangelo finished

Автор: 02.04.2018
The restored tomb can be seen by visiting the Basilica of Santa Croce.

Thanks to a hundred patrons from around the world who donated funds for restoration work, the tomb of Michelangelo, the magnificent creation of the genius Giorgio Vasari, once again opened for visits.

Thus, the municipal authorities successfully completed the first phase of the project "In the name of Michelangelo". The second final stage of the restoration works will be completed this fall by the restoration of the altar of Buonarroti, also created by Vasari.

More than a hundred patrons from twelve countries joined this initiative. The group of the largest of them is in Florence these days to discover the places of Michelangelo and take part in the inauguration ceremony.

The funds were collected in a record short time; they were invested in cleaning and diagnosing the state of the gravestone and restoring the altar damaged by the flood, which was still in critical condition.
