Old hospital in the 14th century, then an Academy of Fine Arts, which houses “David”, the absolute masterpiece of Michelangelo, a must for all visitors of Florence. Sculpted between 1501 and 1504 is intended as a decoration outside of Florence Cathedral. It became instead a symbol of commitment of the Florentine State to freedom and independence, and the symbol of the fall of the Medici (1494).

The work represents the energy, vigor and courage, symbolizing the whole struggle of the human race to survive. Their anatomy, then played by the likes of Michelangelo, was carefully painted, thanks to the deep studies by the great artist.

Besides David, there are four statues of slaves commissioned by Pope Julius II as a decoration of his tomb, called prisons, and even “Mercy” and “San Matteo”. The museum also houses an interesting collection of paintings from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the early years of the 17th century.
