Michelangelo Workshop Found in Florence Basilica Basement
Experts say a basement corridor at the Basilica of San Lovero in Florence reveals Michelangelo workshop walls with charcoal drawings. Initial finds included two en figures and a Christ head, with about 50 additional drawings unearthed during scraping efforts by Paolo dal Pogello and Dioclecio Redig de Campos. The discovery, tied to the Medici chapel era, suggests the master used the space for ideas and works for Florentines of the 16th century.
