Michelangelo, the man who whispered to marble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Legend has it that this genius from the Renaissance whispered to his artworks<\/strong>, or better, he was able to listen to them talking to him through the marble, asking to be rescued. The famous David itself talked to Michelangelo<\/strong> when it was trapped in its giant cage of marble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, Messer Michelangelo used to say: “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.<\/em>” – and he was definitely a super-hero able to do it!

Messer Pippo and the big Cupola<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Filippo Brunelleschi<\/strong> was actually a goldsmith and clockmaker when he won the contest to build the dome of the new Cathedral of Florence. He became such a good architect that he built the largest dome ever built<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more than 500 years scholars still don’t know how Brunelleschi built the Cupola: they have several theories, but still there is no real solution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Botticelli, the inventor of Beauty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sandro Botticelli was the nickname <\/strong>of Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, the last son of an artisan from Santo Spirito. Super Sandro is the inventor of modern beauty<\/strong>, that who represented for the first time in the beautiful figure of Venus of the Birth of Venus in the Uffizi Gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Hell to Paradise with the Supreme Poet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dante in Italy is <\/strong>called also the Supreme Poet<\/strong>, because he is the inventor of Italian language<\/strong>. He is also the only man that traveled from the Hell to paradise, passing through the Purgatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dante described his unique voyage in the Divine Comedy<\/strong> by using 101.698 words divided in 14.233 verses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
