History Fact of The Day: The Creation of Pietà Sculpture

What made Michelangelo so great was his persistence. He didn’t just give up after 15 failed chapels. The 16th chapel is arguably the greatest work of art ever made.

Michelangelo was only 24 years old when he completed the Pietà sculpture. The fact that he was a turtle makes it ten time more fascinating.

  1. Just read about another ex-Iranian citizen arrested when he went back for a visit.
    Just how stupid are these people, they know how dangerous it is to return there.
    They demand diplomatic help from their new country, but in most instances spend
    lots time in jail.
    The time and money spent to help these morons is enormous. If they want to return
    for a visit fine, but if they get detained they should be on their own.

  2. Look at those Americans. They prefer to stay at home where there is no healthcare and certain death by gunman.

  5. It’s okay zoomer. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a popular cartoon from the late 1980s, whose protagonists were named after Renaissance artists. The “Renaissance” was a period of cultural revival in 15th and 16th century Europe.

  6. That’s funny. I live in the USA and have been using the best health care in the planet. It’s true that if you’re neither disabled nor old you don’t get tax payers funded health insurance, but then why would an able bodied person not be working to have health insurance?
    Eurocucks can feel better now knowing I have health care when I need.

  7. Your knowledge of such mundane crap is note worthy. You must have been one of the 80/s
    and 90/s nerds my grandpappy talks about. Being a social misfit is not a recent phenomenon.
    Every generation suffers because these geeks have been allowed to mix with normal people.
    They are just getting harder to spot because they now freeload on someone’s cellar hacking
    whole computer systems to try and get even against mankind.
    It is the female geeks you have to fear. They are the breeders of future generations, the guys
    hang out in groups of other geeky guys discussing ways to get a gal pal.

  8. …and make comments on this wonderful site.

  9. Thanks. Not a zoomer though. Didn’t watch a lot of TV.

  10. Hey don’t forget about me and Ukraine 🇺🇦! We need money and your children. NOW! You selfish goyum. We’re the only country that matters. Just ask Dirty Joe. I mean President Biden.

  12. How do you know it’s the best healthcare on the planet when you never leave the country?
    What makes you think Europeans don’t work for their health insurance? What do you think where the taxes come from. We always get excellent healthcare no matter what we do or who we are. No strings attached. No premium packages. No bill. And in the end of the day we can keep more of our salary for ourselves after taxes than Americans. But you would need to understand economics to understand why.

  13. Hey, idiot geek hater.
    You are so wrong. Geeks don’t procreate. That’s why the genepool suffers. Geeks are intelligent people, but often socially awkward. So they fail at forming partnerships.
    It’s the hillbillies and trailer trash like your parents that have the highest birthrates. Like you they produced lots of stupid babies that ruin our civilisation. More animals than humans those people lower all standards of living, destroy education, oppress free thinkers and ban science. The worst happens when stupidity and religion get mixed. That’s like a mental degeneration nuke.
    Watch the documentation “Idiocracy” on this topic and you might understand. But I doubt it.

  14. We all hope Ukraine will win. Because you suck. The free world is defended in Ukraine and Taiwan..

  15. You contradicted your self at least three times with your rant Mr. Geek. Nerds should be banned
    from all public spaces.

  16. And you mom should get an abortion. Post-natal. Trump favoures firing squad.

  17. Support for a war that’s killed tens of thousands of people. You’re a bad human. This war is as corrupt as Biden and the majority of Americans do not support it no matter what the corporate media says. The Left are war mongers. You can see that on the streets. Evil is evil no matter where it comes from.

  18. Yeah, defending oneself and helping someone with it is war mongering. And they kill the people that try to kill them – outragous. Man, you are dumb.

  19. Says the one with blood on their hands. Go over there and fight for the most corrupt country in Europe then. Put your money where your mouth is.

  20. Corrupt or not. The Russians rape and slay their way through the civilians.
    And why should I fight? I have no combat experience and I am not an Ukrainian citizen. I pay taxes so my country helps Ukraine with stuff.

  23. The majority of Americans are against the war in Ukraine. It’s all BS.

  24. What does “against the war” means? Ukraine should surrender or that Russia should retreat to their own territory?
