Part III and IV

Micoangolo started working on a 13 foot thing of marble. 15 years earlier he moved in with the Medici. He was exposed to a world of artistic work. He was raised among the heirs of the Medici. He watched as they prepared a guy for the kingship. A bloody Civil war sparked in the streets because people were jealous of the Medici's wealth. The heirs were casted into exile. The city of Florence placed a price on both of the cousin's heads. On the 25 of January, Micoangolo was ready for the world to see his marble masterpiece. Every agreed that is was a monumental step forward, so they decided that I should be put outside the town hall. After nine years Jovian and Julio went to Rome. The pope was sympathetic to the Medici so they assembled assembled an army to go back to Florence. Leonardo studied the detail for the human body, and did not miss any detail, but he new Micoangolo was a commentator. They both were given a wall to decorate of the battles. By 1512 thousand of armed solders were inside Tuscany, getting closer to Florence. Florence knew they were hopelessly outnumbered. Just a few miles away, after the massacre, the people of Florence gave in. The Medici were back, but no one trusted the Medici. Later they received news that their pope was dead. Cardinal Javari was now pope Leo the X. His acceptance to the papacy now changed everything. For the first time the Leader of the Catholic church was born in Florence. They painted a boy for the celebration, to represent the Golden Age, but later the child died because of paint poisoning, but his death went unnoticed. Micoangolo was forced into painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, which he thought that he would fail. He created some of the most amazing art during that time. They wanted him to make the tombs for the dead Medici Family, and now he had no make sculpture for him. Soon Leo the X owed each bank some money cause he used it all within the first year. They then started selling indulgences, which was something they sold that would forgive people of their sins. Marting Luther was horrified about what he saw.
