The area
Address
Neighborhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

Michelangelo's late Pieta is awesome. When you got the chance to get there without any crowds you can enjoy the calmness of the room and the amazing art. We were lucky. Only two people were there. When we left 40 school children came in. We were there right on time I assume

The "Pietà Rondanini" is the last sculpture by Michelangelo. He worked at this statue for the last 10 years of his life, when he was in his eighties. The death of the artist came before he could finish the statue, and the style is totally different from the earlier Pietà now in St. Peter Basilica in Rome.
The Pietà Rondanini was bought by the City of Milano in 1952, and at the beginning it was included in the Ancient Art collection of the Sforza Castle. Since 2015 it has a separate space in the Spanish Hospital of the castle.
There is a single ticket, allowing entrance to the Pietà museum, and to all other museums in the Sforza Castle.

This is one of the Civic Museums housed in the Castle Sforzesco and merits mention apart because of the high quality of Michael Angelo´s Pietat and the wonderful way in which it is exhibited. The room which houses the piece contains remains of wall decoration and is peaceful and spacious. Side chapels house some related exhibits.

Enclosed in a small gallery in Castel Sforzesco, you will find one of the last works of Michelangelo. This unfinished Pieta is displayed simply in the middle of the room, so that you can walk around it and appreciate it from all angles. Having viewed the artist's work in the Vatican, this piece provides a glimpse of his process. Very fulfilling experience.

Very exciting visit of this small museum that together with the others present in the structure enriches the visit of the Sforza Castle in Milan. We observe the famous 'Pietà Rondanini' and some historical pedestals on which the sculpture was laid over time. Rounding out the list are a couple of bronze objects, including a face by master Michelangelo.

This museum is located in Area 1 of the Sforzesco Castle Museum in Milan. Although the exhibition area is small, you can see Michelangelo's last sculpture. Although it is not yet completely completed, it is still very shocking and exciting. move. Tickets are very cheap, and there are discounts for senior citizens. It is worth seeing the authentic works of Michelangelo here.

This museum only had one item - it was the unfinished last work of Michelangelo, which is interesting. Maybe I'm just not a big enough fan?

Just being in the room with this last piece of sculpture by Michelangelo is worth the trip. You will see that he was working with a piece of an older work. A must see if you can.

This is likely as close as you will ever get to a Michelangelo sculpture. It is the sole point of focus in this room that feels like a chapel; it feels solemn and holy when you walk in. There are rows of chairs to sit in and just admire this unfinished work, or you can walk right up to it and take whatever photos you wish(no flash). Be sure to look at the base and you will see Michelangelo Buonaparte inscribed in the base.

How do you get to see this unfinished statue in the least amount of time that one has without waiting too long in line?
Written March 23, 2019
There’s always a line, but even midday on a free access day, it only took about 20 minutes to get in.
