In which city did Michelangelo create the Pietà? He created it in Rome.

Michelangelo carved the Pietà between 1498 and 1499 during his first major stay in Rome. The work was commissioned by the French cardinal Jean de Bilhères, who intended it for his funerary chapel in Old St. Peter’s Basilica. Michelangelo used exceptionally fine Carrara marble to show Mary holding the body of Christ after the Crucifixion.

The sculpture became famous for its polished finish, balanced pyramidal composition, and unusually youthful depiction of Mary. Renaissance viewers sometimes questioned why Mary appeared younger than expected, but the choice reflected ideals of purity and timeless beauty. The Pietà is now displayed inside the new St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, although it was made in Rome before the present basilica was completed.

A common mix-up is confusing the city where the statue was made with its material: the marble came from Carrara, while the sculpture itself was created in Rome. It is also Michelangelo’s only known signed sculpture; his name appears on the sash across Mary’s chest.
