Here's where the statue is located:
Considered by historiography and in the mass culture of the 20th century as the main Italian national hero, he began his travels around the world as an officer of merchant ships, and then became a long-distance captain. His most famous enterprise was the victorious expedition of the Thousand that led to the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the nascent Kingdom of Italy, a central episode in the process of unification of the new nation.

Michelangelo's tomb in Santa Croce in Florence. The city of Florence, rich in history and culture, holds within it a treasure of art and meaning: the tomb of Michelangelo Buonarroti located in the Basilica of Santa Croce. This sacred place, once the residence of illustrious figures such as Galileo Galilei and Niccolò Machiavelli, welcomes the great master of the Italian Renaissance with a solemnity and respect that are worthy of the greatness of his contribution to art and culture. Michelangelo, born in 1475 and died in 1564, was one of the greatest artists in history. His influence extended through sculpture, painting and architecture, giving life to iconic works such as the statue of David and the Sistine Chapel. After his death, Florence dedicated a final resting place to him in the Basilica of Santa Croce, a place already consecrated for its many tombs of illustrious personalities. Michelangelo's tomb was designed by Giorgio Vasari, another great artist and architect of the Italian Renaissance. The work, completed in 1578, combines architectural and sculptural elements in a fitting tribute to Michelangelo's greatness. The monument is located in the Buonarroti family chapel, located on the left side of the nave of the basilica. Michelangelo's tomb is an eloquent example of Renaissance funerary art. At the center is an allegorical statue of Hope, flanked by statues representing Activity and Philosophy. The figure of Michelangelo, created by Vasari himself, is placed on a sarcophagus surmounted by a portrait of the deceased, executed by Daniele da Volterra. The whole is characterized by a sense of balance and harmony, typical of the Renaissance style. Every element of Michelangelo's tomb is full of symbolism. Hope, with outstretched wings, suggests the immortality of art and the continuity of its influence over time. The lateral statues symbolize the duality of Michelangelo's life, between the creative fervor of the artist and the philosophical depth of his thought.
Michelangelo’s tomb in Santa Croce is a masterpiece that combines art and spirituality. Every detail, from the architectural design to the allegorical sculptures, tells the story of a man who shaped the aesthetics of the Renaissance. This sacred place is an essential stop for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the artistic and cultural legacy of Florence, paying homage to one of the geniuses who made this city eternally legendary.

The most famous tomb is perhaps that of Michelangelo Buonarroti, between the first and second altars of the right nave, designed by Vasari after the remains of the great artist arrived in Florence from Rome (1564). Above the tomb, three sculptures represent the personifications of Painting (by Battista Lorenzi, also author of the artist's bust) (around 1568), Sculpture (by Valerio Cioli) and Architecture (reattributed to Battista Lorenzi, previously attributed to Giovanni Bandini), saddened by the death of the great master, but the entire tomb is a mixture of painting, sculpture and architecture. The frescoes that decorate it are by Giovan Battista Naldini. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

Bramante's Perspective in Milan. The Italian Renaissance left an artistic legacy that still fascinates and inspires today. One of the most extraordinary examples of this era is Donato Bramante's Perspective in Milan, an architectural masterpiece that testifies to the brilliance and innovation of this golden age. In the late 15th century, Milan lived under the rule of the Sforza family, one of the most powerful Italian dynasties. The Sforza court was an important cultural and artistic center, attracting some of the best talents of the time, including Donato Bramante. Bramante, famous for his influence on Renaissance architecture, left an indelible mark on the history of art, and his Perspective in Milan is an eloquent example of his brilliance. Bramante's project in Milan includes the Church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro, a small but extraordinary church located in the heart of the city. The peculiarity of this church lies in its illusionistic perspective, designed to solve a remarkable architectural problem. Bramante's main challenge was the lack of space to build a complete nave. The Renaissance genius' solution was to create a deep false choir, seemingly as long and spacious as a complete nave. This perspective trick involved creating a wall painted in such a way as to appear to be a large extension of the church. The deception is so well achieved that spectators, entering the church, are fooled by the illusion of a space much larger than what actually exists. Bramante's perspective opened up new creative avenues in architecture, demonstrating that art could overcome physical limitations and create fantastic worlds. Today, Bramante's perspective in Milan is a tourist attraction that continues to amaze visitors. His ability to manipulate space and create illusions is a tangible demonstration of the power of human ingenuity. The church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro has become a symbol of how art can challenge convention and push the boundaries of the imagination.
Bramante’s Perspective in Milan is a stunning example of how art and architecture can work together to overcome practical challenges and create works of timeless beauty. Donato Bramante’s genius has left an indelible mark on the history of art, and his Perspective in Milan remains a testament to the boundless creativity of the Renaissance era. In a modern Milan, this church continues to inspire and enchant, conveying the timeless message that art can truly change our perception of the world.

Here is where the church is located:
One of the main obstacles to the creation of a monumental structure was the lack of space for the choir, since the space behind the transept was occupied by the Contrada del Falcone. The problem was brilliantly solved by Bramante through the creation of reliefs and moldings in terracotta that were subsequently painted to form a perspective escape that simulated in 97 centimeters of depth a space equal to the arms of the 9.7 meter transept inspired by the previous studies of the Prevedari Engraving, becoming the strong point of the building.

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

The rose window of the Gothic church of San Jaume in Barcelona. It is certainly not the church that you remember visiting in Barcelona (for that there is the Sagrada Familia and the cathedral) but I also love photographing the details (in addition of course to the famous and touristy things that the site is full of). This is the beautiful rose window of a small Gothic church near the Rambla. And the inscription: “Rosa d’abril, Morena de la serra” which celebrates the Virgin of Montserrat, a dark-skinned Madonna, protector of Catalonia.
