Delicate charcoal drawings that some experts have attributed to Michelangelo are seen on the walls of a room inside Florence’s Medici Chapel
The secret room – a tiny space just 33ft by 10ft – was discovered in 1975, when officials were searching for a new exit from the Medici Chapel to accommodate increasing visitors. “The major scholars of Michelangelo’s drawings dismissed the attributions” at the time of discovery 50 years ago, Ms D’Agostino said.
“Others had a more moderate view, in the sense they tough that some could be by Michelangelo and others could be by followers. So the debate is ongoing.”
