ITALY - ROMA - VATICAN - INTERIOR OF ST. PETER'S BASILICA - PHOTO POINT 3 : LA PIETA, MADE BY MICHELANGELO AT THE AGE OF 25. HE WAS SO PROUD THAT HE INSCRIBED IN LATIN ON THE BANDAGE WHICH CROSSES THE BREAST OF THE VIRGIN: "MICHEL ANGELO BUONARROTI, OF FLORENCE, DID IT." THIS IS THE ONLY WORK HE HAS SIGNED. IT COMES FROM A 1497 COMMISSION OF JEAN BILHERES DE LAGRAULAS, CARDINAL AND AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE POPE. IT WAS INTENDED TO ADORN THE FUNERARY MONUMENT OF THE CARDINAL IN THE CHAPEL OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE, ST. PETRONILLE, OF THE OLD BASILICA OF ST. PETER. ON MAY 21, 1972, SHE WAS BRUTALLY MUTILATED WITH A HAMMER BY A HUNGARIAN IMBALANCE, LAZLO TOTH. THE RESTORATION WORKS SHOW ON THE LEFT HAND OF THE VIRGIN THE MONOGRAM OF MICHELANGELO, REMAINED HIDDEN FOR NEARLY 500 YEARS: AN "M" DRAWN ON THE PALM WITH THE LINES OF THE HAND. SINCE THEN, THE SCULPTURE IS PROTECTED BY AN ARMORED GLASS. Photo by Stephane Compoint/Only World/ABACAPRESS.COM
