There is an interesting thing about this famous work of art.

Origin of the Pieta Sculpture:
One day, Michelagnolo entered the place where it was founded and found many strangers from Lombard who highly praised it. One of them asked one of the others, and he replied, “We are from Milan, Gobbo.” Michelangelo remained silent but thought his work should be attributed to another person, which is strange. One night, he shut himself up, with a little light and his chisel, engraved his name on it. Michelangelo later regretted the vanity of this act and decided not to sign another part of his work.
This work of Mary and Jesus Bronze Religious Statue made Michelangelo famous at the age of 24. Partly because his name is obvious in Pieta, Michelangelo’s reputation grows with the public’s love of statues.
