The study involved art Panekuchchia Stefano (Stefano Panecuccia). He worked in the archives of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in a small town Kapranika-Prenestina near Rome, where he kept the sculpture. Panekuchchia meticulously examined the records of the XIV century on the pastoral visit of prominent priests. Each such protocol invariably accompanied by a list of property the church, often with a detailed description of the items. The art historian discovered that from the outset relief was described as the work done by Michelangelo.
The image was created in 1520 as part of restoration work in the church, conducted by the local ruler Girolamo Kapranikoy (Girolamo Capranica). Researchers have found that Michelangelo actually participated in these studies, after his wife Kapraniki, Porcaro Marta (Marta Porcari) impressed with other work by Michelangelo - the statue of Christ in the Roman church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva (her uncle, a sculptor commissioned Porcaro) .
Apparently, Michelangelo decided to portray Eola as a sign that as Kapranika its restoration has breathed new life into the city. The exhibition at Rome's Palazzo Venezia will last until Sept. 5.
