We are all familiar with Michelangelo's Moses, one of the most influential masterpieces of all time, but few know that this sculpture is only a fragment of a much more ambitious and revolutionary project shrouded in a thousand controversies. 

Michelangelo - Saint and Sinner is a documentary that traces the troubled history of the creation of the Mausoleum of Pope Julius II, a work that took 40 years to see the light of day due to a series of vicissitudes and political upheavals within the Vatican, and which jeopardized Michelangelo's legacy and reputation.

The documentary traces the entire affair, finally focusing on the virtual reconstruction of the Mausoleum in its original and later forms and, through the testimonies of numerous interviewees-all leading experts on Michelangelo's Art-helps us to define the different stages of its realization.
