Rick Steves' Europe - Travel Guide - Travel Talks Playlist - Michelangelo's Italy

Rick Steves European Travel Talk | Join Gene Openshaw, co-author of Rick Steves' Europe 101: History & Art, as he shares the work and travels of Michelangelo. Michelangelo Buonarroti — sculptor, painter, architect, and poet — was both prolific and well-traveled. We'll trace the life, work and travels of "Earth's Greatest Artist," visiting the Italian cities where he created his masterpieces. You may be surprised to find that the Italy of today is just as culturally rich as it was in the days of Michelangelo.
