Castor or Pollux


Michaelangelo sculpted this statue of Castor . . . or is it Pollux? . . . outside 
the Capitoline Museum in Rome.  Nobody is really sure which is which.

+ Gli artisti omosessuali hanno contribuito notevolmente all'arte e alla cultura italiana nel corso della storia. Solo gli ignoranti intenzionali negano questo fatto.

Last time I viewed it I became quite emotional, great works of art does that to me at times! Lol.

I've had a few of those moments myself.

Maybe Castor, because he was called “the tamer of horses”?

Le informazione qui, sono sbagliate. Questa statua è Castor, fratello di Poluz. Le due statue si trovano al Capitolo di Roma. E non sonno create da Michelangelo. Sonno statue del iii secolo avanti Cristo. E si, Michelangelo si ha creato la PIAZZA DEL CAMPITOLIO e li ha mezzo le statue dove oggi si trovano. Quindi, queste sonno le informazione giuste.

Thank you for your correction. Michelangelo supervised the restoration of the statues and their placement in the plaze he designed.
