>When Michelangelo returned to Rome, burning with desire to make his magnificent vision live, the Pope refused to see him.
Michelangelo left Rome for Florence in a fury, deliberately leaving the day before the laying of the cornerstone for the new St Peter's. Pope Julius matched his wrath, however, and sent envoys and demands for his return "by fair means or foul". Eventually Michelangelo succumbed, and went to the Pope with a rope around his neck - an outward gesture of submission.
