Bad Luck with Michelangelos

Looking back at everything we saw in Italy, and after doing some post-trip research, I now realize we had some bad luck when it came to seeing Michelangelo’s works. We toured Firenze on a Monday unfortunately, so the major museums were closed. Thus no chance to see the original David in the Accademia. At the Vatican in Roma, it was too crowded to get a good look at the Pieta in the Basilica. I happened on St. Peter's in Vincoli during a siesta when it was closed and thus went my opportunity to see Michelangelo’s Moses. We enjoyed a visit to Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in Roma but didn’t know to look for Michelangelo's “Christ the Redeemer”. On the plus side we enjoyed the Capella Sistina at the Vatican, and did see his tomb in Santa Croce in Firenze.
