David Michelangelo

David Michelangelo

The Accademia Gallery in Florence is one of the most visited museum of the city. The reason of its popularity is that the Gallery houses the world-wide famous statue by Michelangelo Buonarroti, the David, perhaps the artist’s most popular sculpture masterpiece.
The statue of David depicts a huge David standing seemingly motionless and nude, at the early stages of the battle with Goliath. Michelangelo chose this moment of the confrontation unlike Bernini, who depicts a David moving to throw a stone with the slingshot at Goliath, or Both Verrocchio and Donatello who sculptured David after the victory, standing over Goliath’s severed head.

We suggest you to pre-book entrance tickets to vist this important museum, as the Gallery is very crowded and you usually find long lines in front of the ticket office:
