# David is placed before the Palazzo Vecchio on 8 September 1504 as a dated civic colossus

Date: 1504

## The fact

On 8 September 1504 [Michelangelo](/people/michelangelo)'s David was placed before the Palazzo Vecchio. The Opera del Duomo owned the spoiled block. Later Accademia housing is a carrier, not this siting. Michelangelo's documented role is: He carved the giant from a spoiled block. The Opera del Duomo had owned the marble; a committee including Leonardo advised siting. Later Accademia plaster rooms are carriers, not 1504.

## Context

A siting committee including Leonardo advised. Sharing the colossus with the Opera and that committee is required. The setting of David is placed before the Palazzo Vecchio on 8 September 1504 as a dated civic colossus is the public file around 1504-09-08. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not treat the Accademia's later indoor move as 1504. Do not twin with Cascina. Mixed effects of David is placed before the Palazzo Vecchio on 8 September 1504 as a dated civic colossus are separate paths.
