"Post Passion" At the time Michelangelo created his flawless and 2nd most famous sculpture "Pietà" he was only 24 years old. It took him less than 2 years from 1498-1499 to complete it. He was commissioned by French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères to create Pietà for his funeral monument. Michelangelo's Pietà had a few homes over the centuries & now resides behind bulletproof glass in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, after 1972 when crazed geologist took a hammer to it knocking off Mary's nose, eyebrow, & her left arm. This is the only piece of work that Michelangelo ever signed. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #jesuschrist #worldtraveler #Bnw #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #pieta #pietà #michelangelo #vaticancity #stpetersbasilica #vatican #sculpture #jesus #madonna #church #virginmary #rome #catholic #catholicism (at Vatican City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4E323SFYC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lesser Known Trivia About Italy

Italy is a country with a rich history and culture, and there are many lesser-known trivia and interesting facts about it. Here are some:

Birthplace of the Espresso Machine: Italy is known for its love of coffee, and it's also the birthplace of the espresso machine. Angelo Moriondo patented an early version of the espresso machine in 1884, paving the way for Italy's espresso culture.

Smallest Country in the World: Vatican City, an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy, is the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population. It's also the spiritual and administrative center of the Roman Catholic Church.

The University of Rome: La Sapienza University in Rome is one of the oldest universities in the world, founded in 1303. It has a long history of academic excellence and has produced many notable alumni, including Nobel laureates.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa: While the Leaning Tower of Pisa is famous, many don't know that it was unintentionally inclined due to unstable foundation soil. It took 199 years to build, during which time the soil settled, causing the famous lean.

Highest Number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Italy boasts the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world, with over 50 recognized sites. These include historical cities, archaeological sites, and stunning natural landscapes.

Pasta Shapes: Italy is known for its variety of pasta shapes, and there are over 350 different types of pasta produced across the country. Each shape is often paired with specific sauces to enhance the dining experience.

Venice and Its Wooden Foundation: Venice, famous for its canals, is built on a network of wooden pilings. The city's buildings are supported by millions of wooden piles driven into the marshy ground. This unique foundation has allowed Venice to float on the water for centuries.

The Republic of San Marino: San Marino, located within Italy, is one of the world's oldest republics. It was founded in 301 AD and has maintained its independence for over 1,700 years.

The Mouth of Truth: Rome's "Bocca della Verità" (Mouth of Truth) is a famous marble mask with a hole for a mouth. Legend has it that if you tell a lie while your hand is in its mouth, it will be bitten off. It's a popular tourist attraction.

Pizza Margherita: The iconic Pizza Margherita, topped with tomato, mozzarella, and basil, was named after Queen Margherita of Savoy in the late 19th century. Its ingredients were chosen to represent the colors of the Italian flag: red, white, and green.

Fiat's Lingotto Factory: The Lingotto building in Turin, once a Fiat car factory, had a rooftop racetrack where newly manufactured cars were tested. It's now a multipurpose complex with a hotel, shopping center, and convention center.

These lesser-known facts about Italy add depth to the country's fascinating history, culture, and contributions to the world.
