Michelangelo

The hero of this radio play is Michelangelo Buonarroti—an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and thinker, the greatest master of the Renaissance. By the scale of his activity, only the most chosen among the great creative personalities can stand on the same level as Michelangelo’s genius. Around the world, his name is associated with the fresco “The Creation of Adam,” the statues of David and Moses, and St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome… Michelangelo was an astonishing person, and his life was no less astonishing. He knew what he wanted, pursued his goal without sparing himself or those around him—becoming the first sculptor to show, in marble, all the beauty of the human body. What was he like in life—what did he suffer from, what did he hate, whom did he love? This radio play will tell you about that and much more from the life of the great Michelangelo.
