Although widely considered a genius by his contemporaries, Michelangelo (Alberto Testone) is reduced to poverty from his struggle to finish the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. But after Pope Julius II dies, his loyalty is tested when Leo X, of the rival Medici family, ascends to the papacy and charges him with a lucrative new commission: the façade of the San Lorenzo basilica.
