He says that because of the great difficulties involved, today there are very few fresco painters who employ techniques from the Middle Ages.

He says that while Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael also tried doing frescoes, Da Vinci could not made a success out of it, while Rahpael had many people assisting him. In comparison, Michelangelo worked alone.

De Vito says the exhibition shows that Michelangelo still connects with today's world.

He says that although technological advancements have brought much convenience, the Florentine master's view still holds true that men should be the "managers" of themselves and should "defend" what they believe.

"He sculpted David out of marble. He set an example of what an artist should do-creating something out of nothing."
