At the corner between Via Ricasoli and Piazza San Marco, in front of the loggiato of Accademia delle Belle Arti.

Immerse yourself in the world of Michelangelo to explore his most celebrated masterpiece, "David," as well as other significant artistic creations like "I Prigioni," "San Matteo," and the "Palestrina Pietà."

A young Michelangelo spent three years sculpting the magnificent "David" from a massive block of raw marble, crafting an imposing work of absolute beauty that stands as an iconic example of the Renaissance ideal. He portrayed a splendid, naked young man at the peak of his physical prowess, reflecting an intense expression of strength and courage born from unwavering faith in God. This sculpture symbolizes the power and invincibility of the Florentine Republic, with the rose serving as a representation of its maximum splendor.
