“Don't trouble yourself. God didn't make us to abandon us.”
Michelangelo Buonarroti
FLORENCE
A SECRET ROOM UNDER A 16TH-CENTURY CHAPEL, WHERE MICHELANGELO HID FOR MONTHS
AFTER BEING SENTENCED TO DEATH BY THE POPE, IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Michelangelo's
secret room
Charcoal drawings, credited to Michelangelo by some experts, adorn a chamber that served as a
coal storage area until 1955 underneath Florence's Medici Chapel. Unearthed in 1975, this concealed
10-metre by 3-metre space sparked intense debate over Michelangelo's authorship. To safeguard the
works, authorities have finally decided to open the room to the public, allowing up to 100 visitors
per week, in groups of four, for a maximum of 15 minutes each, accessible through reservations.
