(ANSA) - ISTANBUL, 17 FEB - The life and works of Michelangelo Buonarroti, in a book translated into Turkish, were the focus of an event organized yesterday by the Italian Embassy at the Palazzo di Venezia in Istanbul, as part of a new promotional program dedicated to Italian genius in all its forms. The occasion was a lecture on the life of Michelangelo Buonarroti by art historian Costantino D'Orazio, author of the book 'Michelangelo. Io sono fuoco' (Michelangelo. I am fire). "Tonight, let us reflect together on Italian genius, that of Leonardo, who imagined a stone bridge over the Golden Horn, and that of the Italian companies that actually built two bridges over the Bosphorus five hundred years later," said Ambassador Giuseppe Manzo, opening the conference that brought together leading figures from the world of economics, culture, and entrepreneurship in Turkey and the Italian community in Istanbul at Palazzo Venezia. "This is a book that tells his story from his perspective. It is as if Michelangelo were describing his works and his life in his own words," D'Orazio emphasized when speaking about his essay, published in Italy by Sperling & Kupfer and in Turkish by Ketebe, during the evening event organized in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Istanbul.
