"Born from the synergy between the Municipality of Milan , the Municipality of Florence and the Vatican Museums , the exhibition will allow the visitor to appreciate Michelangelo's art and inventiveness through the comparison of three nineteenth-twentieth century casts, in ideal continuity with the exhibition just concluded with great success at the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence .Michelangelo's three Pietàs, in the form of their plaster casts, now arrive in Milan, where they will be exceptionally reunited in a spectacular and exciting installation designed by Massimo Chimenti in the Sala delle Cariatidi of Palazzo Reale , which will act as a unique and unrepeatable stage. Three long sheets , spread across the entire height of the room and with a great visual impact , will act as a backdrop to the Pietà, amplifying their strong aesthetic value and the religious sense evoked by the sculptor in three different phases of his life.The cast of the Pietà of St. Peter in the Vatican City was created in 1975 within the Cast and Plaster Laboratory of the Vatican Museums by Ulderico Grispigni; the occasion for its creation came at a dramatic moment for the Pietà, i.e. the 1972 act of vandalism against the sculpture, which made it necessary to prepare a new cast. The cast of the Pietà of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence , known as the Bandini Pietà , preserved in the collection of the Florentine plaster cast gallery of the Porta Romana Art Institute, dates back to around 1882 and was created by the Florentine educator Oronzo Lelli. The cast of the Pietà Rondanini was commissioned in 1953 to the Milanese trainer Cesare Gariboldi, with the aim of determining in the best possible way and in total safety, during the tests of setting up the marble statue, the ideal location for the sculpture, preserved since 1952 in the Sforzesco Castle . Today exhibited in the exhibition after careful cleaning, it is preserved in the deposits of the Museum of Ancient Art. On the occasion of the exhibition , careful documentary and iconographic research on the three Pietàs was promoted , aimed at creating a visual story capable of presenting episodes of recent history which had Michelangelo's sculptures as protagonists: restorations, installations and transfers immortalized by life testimonies such as vintage shots and films, coming from important Italian archives and photo libraries that collaborated on the project. The exhibition itinerary aims to focus precisely on this in the eyes of visitors, that is the maturation of the feelings of one of the greatest geniuses in the history of art , showing how the same drama can achieve such different outcomes, in the hands of an artist immersed in time and in the evolution of inspiration. The catalogue, published by Silvana Editoriale , makes use of the texts of the Scientific Committee and the curators and presents important essays and notes relating to Michelangelo's three Pietàs starting from the youthful Vatican Pietà, to the mature Pietà now preserved in Florence and finally to the Rondanini Pietà , sculpted late in life and left unfinished"--Publisher's website viewed March 27, 2024
