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.

First, let me say that the museum was small but awesome! To see the David in person was amazing and inspiring. Honestly, pictures in a book or online don't do it justice! The experience was well worth the investment. Second, the 3-star review is a mixed review. My wife enjoyed herself. I didn't. Last, the tour guide was a nice guy and very personable. He was on time. And he got us in without any issues. So, why the three stars??? Because the guide made the tour more about him and his theories about Michaelangelo. Not about the history and the art. And he continued to tell us to pay attention to him instead of looking around at the art... the entire reason I was there!!! Like my wife, some people will enjoy this tour. However, some of you will not. It just depends on your reason for going to that museum. Her rating is a four star. Mine is a two star. Hence the three stars.
