This hall is lined in Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures. These blocks of marble will forever remain unfinished, and as a viewer, you can admire the exact spots where the genius, Michelangelo, worked with his chisel and hammer. Your guide will explain this unique art form of “non-finito,” where you can experience the emotions of the characters, as they are trapped in marble, waiting to emerge from the block.
