In Piazza Venezia in Rome, there’s an interesting story hidden in plain sight. On this building, there’s an inscription that says, “This is the location of the house where the divine Michelangelo lived and died.” But the actual house is somewhere else in Rome. During the construction works of the Vittoriano in the 1800s, the house was demolished. However, the façade was preserved, and in the 1940s, it was reutilized to decorate the exterior of a water tank on the Gianicolo Hill.
📍You’ll find it in Passeggiata del Gianicolo
