		The figure of Christ is nude (which scandalized his contemporaries); throughout his career Michelangelo created his masterpieces as a celebration of the human body.
		Another marble relief carved by Michelangelo is the Pitti tondo which differs from the previous ones in style; the figures protrude and the work seems more like a statue than a relief.
		Originally a larger work, Michelangelo cut away portions of the original statue and began carving again; the result is an unfinished statue of the standing figures of Christ and his mother.

	Casa Buonarroti
		These very famous works by Michelangelo of extreme artistic importance include the "Madonna of the Stairs" and the "Battle of the Centaurs".
		Not only do the well-known masterworks by Michelangelo kept in the Casa Buonarroti come from the family patrimony; the same is also true of paintings, sculptures, majolicas and the archaeological sections arranged on the museum's two floors.
		Thus, the significance of the Casa Buonarroti does not limit itself to the exaltation of an extraordinary personage such as Michelangelo, even if the existing documentation on him has been enriched by gifts added to the family inheritance and by pieces on loan from Florentine museums.
