Comincio studio italiano Buongiorno! Mi piace italiano, perché era bello e mi piace ascoltare l'opera. Presto andare in Italia, vorrei parlare un po 'italiano.

The last year of my studying I've got just a year left. This is a good time now. Though I'd like to get a diploma as soon as possible and forget everything. But I realize now I'll be missing all of these: cheerful classmates, wise professors and even laboratory works.

Some interesting facts about the sculpture of David Michelangelo’s David has become one of the most recognized works of Renaissance sculpture, becoming a symbol of both strength and youthful human beauty. There are some interesting facts about the sculpture of David. 1. Specialists in anatomy note that the sculptor distorted the proportion of the body for the purpose of better artistic expressiveness. This is more visible in the upper of the statue. One of the scholars established the absence of a muscle between the right shoulder-blade and the backbone. 2. In 1991 a vandal attacked the statue with a hammer. Before having been bound by guards he had time to chip some pieces of marble from the toes of the left foot. 3. The plaster cast replica of David at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London is known for the fact that the statue is equipped with a detachable fig leaf in case of Queen’s visit. It was a shock for Queen Victoria to have seen the statue's nudity during the first viewing.

David by Michelangelo David is a 17.0” marble statue of the Old Testament king David. This is a masterpiece by the Italian artist Michelangelo. The overseers of Florence Cathedral decided to surround the Cathedral by twelve large Old Testament sculptures. One of them had been made by Donatello (an early Renaissance Italian sculptor from Florence), a figure of Joshua, and a second, a figure of Hercules, by the Florentine sculptor Agostino di Duccio, who was an apprentice of Donatello. Eager to continue their project the overseers contracted Agostino to create a sculpture of David. After the death of Donatello, Agostino hardly set to work on shaping the legs and feet, walked away from the project for reasons unknown. But scholars suggest that Agostino worked under Donatello's direction. The block of marble waited for its master for twenty-five years. Every decade its size dwindled being exposed to destructive influence of precipitation. Then the overseers having consulted Leonardo da Vinci recognized the statue to be fit for being completed. And they decided it was Michelangelo, only twenty-six years old, who deserved the commission. In 1501 Michelangelo was given the official contract to undertake this challenging new task. He worked on the massive biblical hero for more than two years. In 1504, David was installed next to the entrance to the Palazzo Vecchio. It took four days to move the more than 6-ton statue the half mile from Michelangelo's workshop into the Piazza della Signoria. In 1873 the statue of David was removed from the piazza, to protect it from damage, and displayed in the Accademia Gallery, Florence, where it is till now, and later replaced at the original location by a replica. The eyes of David were turned towards Rome. The sculpture soon became the symbol of the Florentine Republic.
