Over the centuries, Michelangelo’s “Pieta” has undergone several restorations to preserve its integrity.
Notably, in 1972, the sculpture suffered damage during an act of vandalism when a mentally disturbed geologist attacked it with a hammer. The restoration efforts that followed, led by skilled artisans, aimed not only to repair the damage but also to maintain the original patina and essence of Michelangelo’s work.
