The Crucifix of Michelangelo lands at Trapani

inserted on 31 January 2009  Tag: Exhibition,  Michelangelo,  Trapani,  March

The wooden Crucifix attributed to Michelangelo, bought by Italy last month, will be exhibited at Trapani, in the picturesque Saint Augustin church (ex Cathedral of the town, as well as a Templar church in past time), from 6th to 20th March, 2009.

A one-off chance for who will be at Trapani in March and a further motivation to visit our town and its fantastic territory. We are talking about the absolute first exhibition of the marvellous wooden Crucifix attributed to Michelangelo bought by Italy last month. The work was already exhibited at Rome last December, in the Yellow Room of  Montecitorio, and it was visited by 28.000 visitors (with peaks of more than 1000 people a day). The  exhibition will be in Trapani, in the Saint Augustin church (in the old town centre), from 6th to 20th March 2009.

NOTE: untill the end of March Trapani can be reached directly thanks to Ryanair from Milan, Pisa, Roma, Barcelona, London and Malta (from 30th March many others fights will be effective).
