The Ancient Restoration Workshop |
In today's 27th blog about Florence, Italy we take you to peek through a window into the Historic Ancient Restoration Workshop.
DAVID "BORN" / SCULPTED HERE - The ancient, but still active workshop of the Cathedral, where the
greatest artists of the past worked, where Michelangelo carved the
famous statue of David!
USED TODAY - Today dedicated craftsmen still work there to restore and maintain the great monumental and
sculptural heritage of the St. Mary of the Flower Cathedral complex. The sculptors and
stonemasons actually use the same tools as Michelangelo, dedicated to preserving
not only the art but also the traditions of the trade.
The craftsmen and women still restore pieces from the facade of the Cathedral today.
