Florence opens to public a room with sketches attributed to Michelangelo | Video

Florence (Italy), Oct 31 (EFE) - (Camera: Antonello Nusca) Under the monumental chapel that Michelangelo built in Florence (north) for the Medici family there is a narrow room with a series of drawings on its walls attributed to the genius, an authorship still disputed and which can now be studied in depth with its opening to the public for the first time.

"I think this will be a privileged opportunity for the public to visit the room and for the scientific community to study it again," said Paola D'Agostino, director of the Bargello Museums, to which the chapel belongs.

Translation:

I am not a scholar of Michelangelo's graphics. I think there is a co-presence of the master's hand and other hands.

Some of the drawings such as the profile of Leda, the sketch of what is one of the funerary monuments of the two captains, can be attributed to Michelangelo.

This will be an opportunity for the public to have the privilege of visiting it and for the scientific community to organise, when the reform is implemented, a study day to summon all the experts in the world to question themselves, but as always in our discipline.

The connoisseur's eye goes one step further than any scientific research.
