Khalil Gibran | Sulla libertà / Freedom

Alle porte della città e presso il focolare vi ho veduto, prostrati, adorare la vostra libertà,

Così come gli schiavi si umiliano in lodi davanti al tiranno che li uccide.

Sì, al bosco sacro e all'ombra della rocca ho visto che per il più libero di voi la libertà non era che schiavitù e oppressione.

Michelangelo | La Cappella Sistina | The Ceiling, 1508-1512

Julius II's decision to completely renovate the decoration of the Ceiling was probably due to the serious problems of a static nature that affected the Sistine Chapel from the earliest years of his pontificate (1503-1513).

They must have been the result of the excavations carried out both to the north and to the south of the building for the construction of the Borgia Tower and for the new St Peter's. After a long crack had opened in the Ceiling in May 1504, Bramante, then the Palace architect, was charged with finding a solution and he fixed some tie rods in the area above the Chapel. However, the damage suffered by the old painting must have been such as to convince the pontiff to entrust Michelangelo with a new pictorial decoration.
