The other tomb was right across the church nave from Galileos and it belongs to none other than Michelangelo! Turns out that is his FIRST name- his full name is really Michelangelo Buonarroti! Here's a shot of his final resting place. You notice his tomb is kind of up in the air a little- each of those sculptures were made by some other artist and the painting was done by someone as well. You know its a nice tribute and everything, but for a guy who is immortal for works like these, you just kind of what expect to have more drama with his tomb--
Its humbling and exhausting to think that we had the privilege of actually seeing first hand all these pieces in the last few days of our lives--
