In Rome in 1547 Pierino extended his knowledge of Michelangelo's sculptures, and when he returned to Tuscany he began work on a statue which had its subject a theme associated with Michelangelo, was loosely based on Michelangelo's designs, and was an essay in Michelangelo's sculptural technique. This is the marble group of Samson Slaying a Philistine, now in the courtyard of the Palazzo Vecchio.
