Michelangelo created this Pieta for his own funerary chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, between 1548-55, but left it unfinished. (The Magdalen is by one of his pupils, Tiberio Calcagni).
He gave it to his friend, Francesco Bandini, and the statue was sold to the Medici Grand Dukes in the mid 17th century. It was at first placed in the crypt in San Lorenzo then, after 1721, behind the high altar in the Cathedral. It was moved to the in the left transept, in 1933, where it remained until 1980.

thursday Florence blogging!
thx.
Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? Is killing thousands of innocent civilians okay when you are doing a little government makeover?
If ever there was ever a time in our nation's history that called for a change, this is it!
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
That last post makes no sense whatsoever!
good afternoon bros. I'm honestly into shoes and I had been digging allowing for regarding that exact brand. The prices due to the fact that the boots are around 200 pounds on every page. But finally I found this location selling them for half price. I absolutely like these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url].
