Michelangelo's San Lorenzo Basilica exterior could be revived

Michelangelo's San Lorenzo Basilica exterior could be revived:

"Nearly 500 years after Florence ditched Michelangelo's grand design for the exterior of San Lorenzo Basilica, the city's mayor wants to finally realise the artist's vision."

It would be a cultural triumph if this incomplete facade were completed.

It is not unique in Italy, but incomplete building of this quality are rare elsewhere.

Modernists may suggest a contemporary facade, but they would be wrong!
