NOTE TO PUBLISHERS.

To the most visionary publishers around the world:


Teaching about Italian Renaissance, specifically on the vault of the Sistine Chapel, I noticed that in its narrative syntax there was more movement than in the cinema of the Lumière brothers or in the current digital audiovisual language. In January of 1998, I traveled to Florence, Milan and Rome, bought books and filmed the works of Michelangelo, and since then I have been studying his work.

I wrote a book on the sacred work of Michelangelo Buonarroti: "Michelangelo, Sculptor of his Salvation". I made a high quality edition, in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, which was not intended for sale, and was distributed among editorials, many of them Italian.

The book has as its main topic the sculptures and drawing of the "Pietàs", through which, over the years, Michelangelo expresses his Neoplatonic ascensional salvific thought, having as main theme: the Mother and the Son.
This book aims to reveal the intrinsic language in the works of Michelangelo, and to be published by a leading Publishing House, reaching a broad educated audience.
It is intended to be read by:

•  University students.
•  Advanced university students.
•  Their trainers.
•  Scholars of the work of Michelangelo.
•  General public, interested in art.

It could be a bilingual or trilingual book. The original book is written in Spanish, followed by a summary in Italian. This work could be expanded, if the publisher so wishes. 

In the book substantial contributions for the study of the work of Michelangelo are made:

• The true reason why Michelangelo breaks the "The Florentine Pietà" (The Deposition).  
•  The interest of Michelangelo by astrology. In 1500, in Rome, he took mathematics and astronomy classes with Nicolaus Copernicus. In the course of the years the commentaries of the thought of Copernicus come to the Vatican. Michelangelo in the fresco "The Last Judgment" consecrates a synthesis of his heliocentric Christological thought, a work that predates the publication of the book of Copernicus, which was published in 1543.  
• The culmination of ascending salvific thought in the most modern work of all time, that is the "Pietà Rondanini", in its second version: the present one. It is the most accomplished expression of the aesthetics of the unfinished in the work of Michelangelo.
  The Son and Mother merged in a single ascensional breath, emerge from matter to the heavenly ascension, before the spectators of alltimes and latitudes.  It is the Christian Resurrection. Michelangelo rises, also he, with his mother Francisca, as well as asks in a poem of his, to Jesus Christ, to reach the salvation of his soul, before dying.
  Supreme expression of the helical movement.

Particularity of the book:

• This book is based on reliable historical sources, acquired in the city of Florence, Italy.
•  It allows to know the language that expresses the work of Michelangelo. Knowledge that transcends emotion and commotion before beauty, to advance in the use of a language of its own, applied to modern and future art, and to the creative use of new technologies.
• The importance of the study of the concept (philosophy), on which new artists will base their works.
• The transcendental importance of the understanding of the foundations that constitute the aesthetics of the "very finished" and the "unfinished" in the work of Michelangelo. Beauty is possible in modern and future art.

Why this book can be a good business:


For a publisher capable of producing a high-quality,  internationally edition, this inspiring book can be a good business for the following reasons:

• Trainers and scholars will propose the book, in the bibliographies for their chairs.
• It will promote, by its conceptual clarity, a fluid communication, between trainers, students, artists and professionals, focused on the phenomenon of artistic creation.
• The current eternity of Michelangelo's thought. An architect, for example, will find in the book that the principles of Michelangelo's creative thought can be applied to modern architecture (in this sense one may think on The Gherkin Tower, designed by one of the most prestigious contemporary architects, the Asturias Prize 2009 winner Norman Foster. To design The Gherkin Tower, Norman Foster was inspired by the design of the pavement of the Capitol Square, in Rome, created by Michelangelo Buonarroti).
• An environmentalist, you will find in the book that the guiding principles of Michelangelo's work can be applied to the design of sustainable environments.
• The scientist, the philosopher and the artist will find, in the helical and spiral movement that express the work of Michelangelo, the methodology and inspiration for the creative thought of his specialty. 
• This book has received very auspicious criticism from editors of Córdoba, Buenos Aires and Rome.
