Long-Lost Drawings Found Inside Michelangelo's Secret Bunker | BBC Timestamp

#AntiqueMasterpieces"Historian Dr Michael Scott embarks on an adventure to explore the hidden treasures of Italy's astonishing cities, bringing a fascinating new insight into 2,000 years of history.

In Florence, Dr Scott is delighted to explore a small chamber under the Medici chapels in the Basilica of San Lorenzo. This is believed to be Michelangelo’s secret underground hiding place, where he hid from persecution from the powerful Medici family. Here, he allegedly sketched chalk drawings on the
walls, creating an ‘autobiography through art’ that lay undiscovered for centuries.
