...How am I supposed to manage my infallible beliefs? / While I'm sockin' it to ya / Performing in Spanish on Italian TV...

...Sometime in the future / Whilst wonderin' if your mother still ever thinks of me / Hallelujah...

...Blank canvasses / Lent against gallery walls / Flowing towards sculptures of anything goes / On the marble stairs...

Secret room, Medici Chapels, Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence

In 1530, Michelangelo went into hiding after receiving a death sentence from Pope Clement VII. The iconic Renaissance artist had been caught in the political strife of his patrons, the Medici family, who had just returned to Florence after being overthrown by a populist revolt in 1527.

During their exile, Michelangelo worked with the short-lived republican government to help secure the city’s defense walls and so became an enemy of his powerful supporters.

It is believed he spent two months stowed away in a tiny vault stretching just 32 feet long and 6.5 feet wide, with 8-foot ceilings at their highest points and a single window to the street, before the pope rescinded the sentence.

The claustrophobic room also became a canvas for the artist, who’s thought to have sketched dozens of drawings on the walls. Using carbonized wood and red chalk, the artist rendered several figurative works, including the head of the ancient Laocoön sculpture and iterations of his own masterpieces, including his Leda and the Swan painting and iterations of his David statue.

The drawings were hidden until 1975 when the then-director of the Medici Chapels, Paolo Dal Poggetto, was trying to find a new space for the museum exit. A trapdoor under a cabinet led to the room, which was filthy from housing slack coal for two decades. When the walls were finally stripped of two layers of plaster, the museum discovered the artworks.

Dating to the mid 13th century, the Bargello housed the podesta, the highest magistrate of the Florence city council. In 1574, the Medici got rid of that position and put the police chief here. The building was used as a prison. The interior yard was even used to execute people until 1786, although the police didn't move out until 1859. Now it's a fantastic museum.

Bargello: acquistati due rari tappeti mamelucchi egiziani cinquecenteschi

Bacchus Roman sculpt. 2nd century AD, marble - Galleria Borghese - Rome, Italy.

Dionysus, after a Hellenistic model, 2nd century AD, marble, ex-coll. Cardinal Richelieu, Louvre, Paris, France

Bacchus with Pan, 1496/97 Michelangelo, 1475/1564, Museo del Bargello, Florence, Italy.

Dionysus, Roman, Hadrianic period, 117-138 AD, after a type attributed to Praxiteles, c. 350 BC, marble - Galleria Borghese - Rome, Italy

Dionysus. Bronze. 117—138 CE. Roman National Museum, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme.Rome.

Note the thyrsus held in the hand. Main attribute of Dionysus, then Bacchus, it is a symbol of prosperity, fertility and hedonism. This scepter, decorated with ivy, vine, sometimes tied with a tænia (ribbon) and topped with a pine cone, an artichoke or a pomegranate.

Which one do you think is the most desirable ? For me it is this bronze, of which the anonymous author was able to give a haughty appearance...
