Michelangelo
by Tuena, Filippo
Michelangelo is a thirty-year literary struggle with Buonarroti’s biography, creations, and imagination. A work made up of works: the result of the confrontation between a writer and his life-long artistic obsession. Filippo Tuena guides us on a flâneuristic and personal pilgrimage into and around the myth of Michelangelo, which for more than five hundred
years has continued to fascinate and intoxicate the world with ecstasy and torment, yearning and genius, dream and sin.
