How is the Sistine Chapel different from other churches?
The Sistine Chapel ceiling and one wall were painted by Michelangelo. His frescoes have become popular modern prints, the unbelievably beautiful touching of hands or giving life. It is the only chapel that took so many years to complete, and restored about 6 years ago or so, and interestingly enough, when the grime was removed, one of the angels who was sent into hell had serpents wrapped around his torso and finally holding on for dear life to his private part. I found this interesting that the artist would give that sort of punishment, especially when the Pope had problems with the nudity in the beginning of the chapel painting. The Sistine Chapel is also different from other churches because it is where the Cardinals have always met to select a new Pope. The Chapel is also located in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican, Rome, Italy.

What relationships did Leonardo da Vinci have?
He may have been gay, although in Florence Italy, at the time it was known as "citta di note" or city of the night. the local powers organized a snitch box which citizens were able to drop names of persons along with supposed crimes. More than likely Leonardo was the target of a rival artist. They dropped his name in the box in hopes of eliminating competition. He was found innocent. He was a private man and we know only what and who he was by his writings and the writings of Vasari. We really do not know who Leonardo was intimate with.
