Il Fatto Quotidiano: Attribuito a Michelangelo il busto del Cristo Salvatore nella basilica di Sant’Agnese fuori le mura Uno studio durato 10 anni, tra testamenti, carteggi, diari, libri storici e di viaggio, inventari notarili e atti confraternali che hanno portato alla “riattribuzione” a Michelangelo del busto del Cristo Salvatore, conservato da secoli nella basilica di Sant’Agnese in via Nomentana a Roma. A condurlo è stata la ricercatrice Valentina Salerno che, durante una conferenza stampa all’interno del complesso monumentale dell’Ordine dei Canonici Regolari Lateranensi, ha presentato il suo studio dal titolo “Michelangelo gli ultimi giorni“. “Questa ricerca l’ho iniziata sostanzialmente dimenticando Vasari – racconta Salerno – perché gli ultimi anni della sua vita Michelangelo li ha trascorsi a Roma, mentre Vasari non si trovava in città. Lo scultore era stato descritto come un burbero che nell’ultima fase della vita aveva distrutto tutto, ma in realtà si è scoperto che non era così”. Per secoli infatti si è creduto che l’artista avesse distrutto centinaia di bozzetti, disegni e sculture custoditi nella sua casa, le fonti ritrovate invece suggeriscono il contrario: le opere non sarebbero state eliminate, ma messe in salvo. Secondo la ricostruzione, disegni, studi e marmi passarono di mano in mano all’interno di una cerchia ristretta di allievi e amici fidati. “Noi speriamo che si attivi, attraverso anche questa scoperta, la ricerca sulla parte perduta delle ultime opere di Michelangelo – spiega Michele Rak, docente all’Università di Siena – noi pensiamo infatti che ce ne siano altre, che arricchirebbero una parte del patrimonio della Chiesa e di Roma”. L'articolo Attribuito a Michelangelo il busto del Cristo Salvatore nella basilica di Sant’Agnese fuori le mura proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Attributed to Michelangelo is the bust of the Savior Christ in the basilica of Saint Agnes outside the walls. A ten-year study involving wills, letters, diaries, historical books and travel journals, inventory records, and fraternal deeds, which led to the “reattribution” of Michelangelo’s Christ the Savior bust, long preserved in the basilica of Saint Agnes on Via Nomentana in Rome. Researcher Valentina Salerno conducted the research, and during a press conference within the complex of the Order of the Regular Lateran Canons, she presented her study titled “Michelangelo’s Last Days.” “I essentially started this research without considering Vasari,” Salerno recounts, “because Michelangelo spent his last years in Rome, while Vasari was not in the city. The sculptor had been described as a grumpy man who destroyed everything in the last phase of his life, but it turned out he wasn’t like that.” For centuries, it was believed that the artist had destroyed hundreds of sketches, drawings, and sculptures housed in his home; however, the sources found suggest the opposite: the works were not eliminated, but safeguarded. According to the reconstruction, drawings, studies, and marbles passed from hand to hand within a small circle of trusted students and friends. “We hope that this discovery, among others, will activate research into the lost part of Michelangelo’s last works,” explains Michele Rak, a professor at the University of Siena – “We believe there are others, which would enrich a part of the Church’s and Rome’s heritage.” The article “Attributed to Michelangelo: The Bust of Christ the Savior in the Basilica of Saint Agnes” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Michelangelo #SaintAgnes #ViaNomentana #ValentinaSalerno #Vasari #Salerno #MicheleRak #Church #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/03/04/michelangelo-busto-cristo-salvatore-roma-news/8313500/
