The 17-foot-tall, 12,000-pound marble masterpiece by Michelangelo Buonarroti, was unveiled to the public in Florence on "ThisDayInHistory" in 1504. “David” was carved from a single block of white Italian Carrara marble that was rejected by other artists for being flawed.

A committee of artists decided on the statue’s location, outside Florence’s town hall. It reportedly took 40 men 4 days to move the massive statue half a mile from Michelangelo’s studio to the piazza.

In 1873, after almost 400 years, “David” was moved indoors.
