The Pity of Michelangelo was sculptured between 1498 and 1500. The sculptor did not sign this masterpiece that the critics considered like an opera made during his “mature” age, even though he made it when he was just 25 years old. But it just happened that walking by he heard two men talking about that opera: one of them, from Milan, was saying that he was pretty sure that the sculptor was from his town, the other one said that it was not true, but he still didn’t know who the author was. Michelangelo thus got back and signed his work (Michael Angelus Bonarotus florent. Fecit) along the ribbon on the Madonna shoulder.
