The young Michelangelo carved the David from a huge block of rough marble in three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the renaissance model. He depicted a magnificent nude young man at the height of his physical vigor, whose intense expression of strength and courage, which originated from an absolute faith in God, roses as a symbol of power and invincibility of the Florentine Republic at the time of its maximum splendor.

Enjoyed the small group. Our family of 4 and 2 others. Was easy to meet the tour group outside the museum. Our guide was very friendly and very informative. Is a smaller museum so doing the tour a smaller group was great. Would definitely recommend this tour
