Maestro Francesco Santoro, World-renowned Renaissance-style artist and art history scholar, will present a lecture and discussion on one of the greatest masters of the Renaissance: Michelangelo Buonarroti. Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet. He is known best for his Statue of David, and his painting on The Sistine Chapel ceiling. Born in Italy, Maestro Santoro trained under Master Giorgio De Chirico. He eventually became an artist for the Vatican, creating religious art work and frescos around the world.

Please note: The presentation will be in Italian, but headsets with simultaneous English translation will be provided. Light refreshment will be served.
