astroboy's question:
Hey. Can you please tell me which is the church in Vatican holding Michelangelo's "Pieta"?(give a different answer) .
St. Peter's Basilica, in Piazza San Pietro. Michelangelo was the one to continue the church designed by Bramante in 1506, when he was 72 years old. Michelangelo decorated the grand dome, rising proudly 120m above the altar, but his death occurred before finishing the architectural masterpiece. Pieta is his 24-years old work and the only wearing his signature. To reach the dome, climb the stairs to the atrium for 4 euros or take the elevator for 5. Pay attention to the rigid dressing codes!
