The Bargello - A Michelangelo Tour (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
The Bargello is home to several sculptures by Michelangelo, including the statue of Bacchus.
At the age of 21 Michelangelo went to Rome for the first time. We still possess two of the works he created during this period (Bacchus and Pietà); others must have been lost, for he spent five years there.
The Bacchus was commissioned by the banker, Jacopo Galli, for his garden and he wanted it fashioned in the style of a classical statue.
