The Project for the facade of San Lorenzo, Florence c. 1517 is a significant architectural design by the renowned Italian artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. Commissioned by Pope Leo X, who belonged to the influential Medici family, the project was intended to provide a majestic facade for the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence, which is one of the oldest churches in the city and the burial place of many members of the Medici family. Despite its ambitious scope, the project was never completed due to various complications, including financial constraints and political issues.

Michelangelo's design for the facade was grand and innovative, reflecting his mastery in both architecture and sculpture. The plans suggest a structure richly adorned with sculptures and architectural elements that combine classical Renaissance ideals with Michelangelo’s distinctive artistic style. The facade was to include a series of niches, columns, and pediments, showcasing statues of saints and biblical figures, designed to create a dramatic and spiritually inspiring elevation.

The incomplete project remains a significant study in Renaissance art and architecture, illustrating Michelangelo's visionary approach and the complexities of artistic patronage in 16th century Italy. The surviving drawings and sketches for the facade, preserved in various art collections, continue to be studied by scholars and admired by art enthusiasts, offering insight into Michelangelo’s creative process and his ability to blend architectural functionality with unparalleled artistic expression.
