Italy-Turkey: Istanbul celebrates Italian genius and Michelangelo

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).

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.
