Did you know that

Don't miss the opportunity to discover the hidden treasures of the Vatican Museums with us. In 1506 Pope Julius II blesses the first stone of the new St. Peter's Basilica, placing a sculpture from the 1st century BC in the Vatican. C. popped out that year on a cold February morning from the soil of a vineyard in Rome: the Laocoon, perhaps the most celebrated statue of antiquity. Pope Julius II had sent his architect Giuliano da Sangallo and Michelangelo to the site. They had no doubts: that was the famous sculptural group that Pliny the Elder had seen and described in the palace of Emperor Titus. A month later the Laocoon was in the Vatican by the will of the Pope: the first of a collection of masterpieces which would later become the Pontifical Museum. Laocoon was the Trojan priest who had guessed the deception of the wooden horse with which the Greeks were about to take over the city. Before he could warn his fellow citizens, two snakes sent by enemy gods killed him and his two sons. As the founder of the new Christian Rome, Pope Julius II judged the discovery of the Laocoon "providential". He placed the statue in the Belvedere courtyard, on the highest level of the Vatican hill and soon joined other ancient masterpieces already in his possession, including the Apollo del Belvedere. On the artists whom Julius II called to work in the Vatican - and also on many artists of the following centuries - those statues had an extraordinary impact. The prophet Jonah who dominates the vault of the Sistine Chapel frescoed by Michelangelo has his model in the Laocoon. Even the Christ of the Last Judgment painted by Michelangelo himself has the body of Laocoon and the face of Apollo Belvedere.
