But in the end the Pope changed his mind, and asked him to fresco the walls of the Sistine Chapel.<\/p>\n<p>Buonarroti accepted the work, and he offered to paint the entire vault of the church. The vault of the Sistine Chapel contains 343 figures, and impressively depicts the entire story told in the Old Testament.<\/p>\n<p>You can admire the Creation, the Fall of the Man, and the arrival of the Apostles bearers of salvation. There are also beautiful renderings of the Sibyls, the stylized Prophet, and the figures of the Ignudi with the stories taken from the Bible. Also featured are the ancestors of Christ from Abraham to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>In 1535, twenty-five years after the vault was completed, Michelangelo returned to Rome. The Pope then called on Michelangelo to paint &#8220;<em>the Last Judgmen<\/em>t&#8221; on the altar of the Sistine Chapel.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on the wall there were five frescoes belonging to Perugino and\u00a0 Michelangelo, painted 20 years before. When the wall was ready he depicted the chosen ones, who ascended into heaven helped by angels; but also the\u00a0 damned people thrown into hell.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to understand more about it, book a seat at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.auditoriumconciliazione.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Auditorium della Conciliazione<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here you will admire the beautiful, completely immersive show\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giudiziouniversale.com\/biglietti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;The Last Judgment&#8221;. <\/a>For 1 hour you will be immersed in projections, actors, perfumes and plenty of unexpected surprises.<\/p>\n<p>Book tickets <a href=\"https:\/\/giudiziouniversale.vivaticket.it\/?qubsq=e7d12dac-c2ea-414f-8fd6-a2bab5745d6d&amp;qubsp=a679ba09-9297-4251-8947-b798ee93c8e4&amp;qubsts=1567529927&amp;qubsc=bestunion&amp;qubse=vivaticketserver&amp;qubsrt=Safetynet&amp;qubsh=345c0d9c77416437c1ad44bd90923280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Santa Maria degli Angeli<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_28556\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giovanni-dallorto.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28556\" class=\"wp-image-28556 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giovanni-dallorto.jpg\" alt=\"Basilica di Santa maria degli angeli\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giovanni-dallorto.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giovanni-dallorto-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/giovanni-dallorto-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28556\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a view of the Church by Giovanni dell&#8217;Orto &#8211; Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Three years before his death he transformed the Baths of Diocletian as requested by Pope Pius IV.
