In Florence, a sculpture of David - a masterpiece of the Michelangelo genius was placed
September 8, 1504
September 8, 1504
Sculpture of David by Michelangelo
David is a marble sculpture of the biblical youth hero, the work of Michelangelo, which first appeared to the amazed Florentine audience in Piazza della Signoria on September 8, 1504. Transportation of the giant statue to the installation site, chosen by its creator, was directed by Leonardo da Vinci.
Master worked on it for 2 years.
The statue is 5 meters high and weighs more than 6 tons.
It was made by Michelangelo from a monolithic block of marble, mined in a quarry near the city of Carrara. The stone first for almost 40 years lay in the inner courtyard of the Florence Cathedral, before Michelangelo took it. Even after completing the sculpture, he worked for another 4 months with the processing and polishing of marble, before the sculpture was presented to the public.
After the opening, the statue of David spent about three centuries in the open air in Piazza della Signoria.
The first 20 years after the creation became a serious test for the statue.
The rebels fired at the statue, and lightning struck the statue.
In 1527, during the uprising, the arm of David was broken off. A white mixture of lime and sand, which was used to return the hand to the place, is still visible.
And in the 19 century the monument was even more damaged by two non-professional operations to clean it: in 1810 it was covered with wax, and in 1843 the wax was washed off with a genuine patina with the help of hydrochloric acid.
In 1873, the statue of "David" was moved to the main hall of the Academy of Arts.
The place of the original in the Piazza della Signoria took a copy in 1910. However, this time the misadventures of the ancient handsome man did not end.
In 1991, the mentally unbalanced Italian Piero Cannata hammered off the middle finger on the left leg of "David". Had to make a new finger for the statue.
In May 2004, the Florentines for the first time in 130 years washed the famous sculpture. This was done specifically for the 500th anniversary of the creation of the statue. The sculpture of David was solemnly reopened in the Academy of Florence after the end of the restoration process.
International Literacy Day is celebrated by the United Nations. The literacy level of modern man is quite high, and this is a huge achievement of civilization.
The number of literate people in the world totals more than 4 billion. However, a large number of people (860 million) are still illiterate, and more than 100 million children on the planet do not attend school.
A large percentage of schoolchildren participating in educational programs do not correspond to the expected level. An important task of the UN is to direct a lot of attention to girls and boys who do not receive sufficient education.
The 4th congress of the international organization of journalists was held in Bucharest in 1958, it was decided to celebrate the international day of solidarity of journalists.
In memory of the famous Czech anti-fascist and political figure Julius Fucik, who wrote the book “Report with a noose around his neck”, it was decided to hold events on the day of his death in the dungeons of a Prague prison. The book of the anti-fascist and leader of the Prague Communists has been translated into 70 languages.
On this day, journalists hold actions, conferences, congresses, share experiences, and award the best representatives of their profession.
The original exotic holiday is usually celebrated on the second Sunday of September. Imagine - cranes appeared on Earth long before the dinosaurs 40-60 million years ago in North America!
At first they migrated to Asia, then settled in Africa and Australia. They can be found almost everywhere, except, perhaps, Antarctica and South America. Most often they winter in Iran and in the west of India. In total, there are about 15 species of birds.
Several rare species are listed in the ''Red Book''. To save rare species, scientists laid eggs of endangered species to other birds. The secretariat of the ''Bonn Convention on Cranes'' organized a working group, and proposed to celebrate the World Crane Day, on days that annual accounting for cranes flying to warm countries is carried out.
Anyone can take part in the counting of birds in places of their large concentrations. On September 8, photo exhibitions, promotions and festivals dedicated to various types of cranes are held.
