Spiritual awakening by Michelangelo: discover the red thread that links David to the Sistine Chapel! This is not standard experience above David , this is the MarioGesu's tour with priority entrance , Mariogesu is a native guide and an actor that bring you inside Michelangelo's code , the creation process, a wonderful life message. His tour is high profile, aimed at couples, families with children and friends, for those who want to know the secret of Michelangelo. If the David is the fulcrum, the surprise will be to discover how the artist "surpasses" the David with his "Prisoners", just a few meters away, created through the "unfinished" style. By choosing this experience, easily understandable to everyone because it is expressed with images and metaphors (therefore easy to understand even for the little ones), you will participate in a unique perspective: the red thread that binds Michelangelo's entire work, the artistic and spiritual reason of the greatest artist of all time.
