Tribuna di galileo, statua di galileo, aristodemo costoli.
Aristodemo Costoli (1803–1871) was an Italian sculptor who spent his entire career in the city of Florence . He is also known for attempting in 1843 to clean and conserve the famed Renaissance -era sculpture David by Michelangelo ; unfortunately his hydrochloric acid cleaning solution removed the stone's waxy protective coating and left the surface pitted and porous.[1] [2] His students included Emilio Zocchi , Girolamo Masini , Augusto Rivalta and his son Leopoldo Costoli .
