Piazza del Campidoglio
The Campidoglio Square, or Piazza del Campidoglio, is one of Rome’s most iconic civic spaces, masterfully redesigned by Michelangelo in the 16th century.

Sistine Chapel
Commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV in the late 15th century, the Sistine Chapel was designed by Baccio Pontelli and built between 1473 and 1481 under the direction of Giovannino de Dolci.  Pope Sixtus IV desired to have a private chapel where he could celebrate Mass undisturbed by the public. His second intention was to have a space to hold conclaves to elect future popes. It was consecrated and dedicated to the Virgin Mary upon completion. The first Mass was celebrated on August 15, 1483, the Feast of the Assumption of Mary.

Resurrected Christ Statue
Michelangelo’s Risen Christ, also known as Cristo della Minerva, is a striking marble statue located in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. Completed in 1521, the sculpture portrays a resurrected Christ holding the cross, standing in a graceful contrapposto pose that conveys both physical strength and spiritual serenity. Commissioned in 1514, the project faced delays, including Michelangelo abandoning the first version due to a flaw in the marble. The second version was finished primarily in Florence before being sent to Rome, where assistants made final adjustments—some of which Michelangelo reportedly found unsatisfactory. 

Statue of Moses
Michelangelo’s Moses, housed in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli (St. Peter in Chains) in Rome, is one of his most powerful and enigmatic sculptures.

La Pietà
Michelangelo Buonarroti carved the Pieta from a single slab of Carrara marble when he was 24-years old. The sculpture was unveiled in St. Peter's Basilica for the Jubilee of 1500.
