The digital twin of Michelangelo s David realized in a laboratory located in the historic center of Florence, Italy, 14 April 2021. The departure from Tuscany will happen today. In the coming days, the copy will fly to Dubai where it will represent Italy at Expo. The reproduction of David, a masterpiece kept by the Academy Gallery in Florence, was made thanks to a sophisticated digitalization and then to 3D printing in 14 pieces. It was a long process that began in December and ended just today. David s twin, of the same size as the original, weighs 400 kilos plus 150 kilos of base, and is made of acrylic resin covered with marble dust. Digital David will arrive in Dubai next week by plane and will be officially presented. ANSA/CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI
