On this day, 53 years ago, on May 21, 1972 (April 9, 1972, the statue of Michelangelo's famous work "The Pieta of the Virgin" was destroyed. "The Virgin Mary" before its destruction was published on May 21, 1972,"I am Jesus Christ!" The attacker shouted as he hit the Virgin Mary with a hammer. The onlookers were stunned with fear. A security guard came over, grabbed the man's long red hair, and twisted him away to stop him from beating the statue crazily. The damage has been done: Michelangelo's century-old statue of the Pieta of the Virgin has been smashed to pieces. This morning, people here for the Serenity service strolled through the Brasilia Corridor of St. Peter's Basilica, praising Renaissance art, the "Pieta of the Virgin", a sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding a reclining Jesus that was as usual watched by silent crowds. A Hungarian named Razl-Tos, who seemed to be an ordinary tourist, later raised a hammer. The Virgin Mary's left arm was broken, her veil and nose were shattered. The saddest thing is that her left eye has been damaged. She ended 500 years of loving gaze on the Son. After Toth was sent to Italian authorities, Pope Paul inspected the scene. He knelt down and prayed, saying it was "severe mental trauma." The statue has been covered with a large red cloth. Vatican art experts came together to assess the damage. Since the damaged parts have been shattered, it is only possible to restore the shape of the statue, but not to make up for its original beauty.
