Thursday 20th of May 1277
187th Pope Ioannes XXI dies of injuries suffered when the roof of his bedroom collapsed on 14 May at the age of 62 in Viterbo, Lazio, Italy.

There was widespread speculation about his death (since his death was declared by Pope Lorenzo IV the 15th of May 1278), but the Pope had to flee and take refuge in Rome on the orders of Pope St. Peter VI . On the 11th of July 1280 he led the church on pilgrimage to Saint Peter's Park at Rome by flying to Venice by horse and carriage and then the following day he built the Cathedral of St Augustine in Nice, Nice, and afterwards took the place of Pope Tullius of Bologna and made it his mission to the east of the Rhine in 1451. Amongst other things Francis made history when he took the Order of St. Nicholas Basilica in Alexandria in 1464 with the Pope. In 1466 he built St Nicholas the Great, the first cathedral or temple of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and made a permanent cathedral in the south of Italy with The Monastery of St Augustine in the city of Assisi the fifth of August 1473. In 1478, with the permission of the Pope he erected the cathedral of Basilica St. Sophia, Rome. In 1480, he began rebuilding the Church of St. Francis of Assisi with St. Peter of Assisi.

Artist Yves Klein known for his International Klein Blue is born in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

He later achieved professional and artistic achievements, including his first exhibition, La Rebaite et la Rêveux (1928), depicting a young, healthy-looking young artist-in-training. He later performed as a solo artist in his own artwork for the L'Amour exhibition. Klein was awarded a National Art Award and a Golden Prix in 1929 and 1931 for his work, which included La Rebaite et la Rêveux: An Anthology of Artworks.
Siegfried Klein was born in Tenerife of a French Protestant family on 10 October 1928. He entered the art field in 1958 with a minor degree of research. He is considered to be one of the world's most distinguished sculptors, although his work in sculpture has often been misunderstood, for his ability to express a unique concept, as well as the idea of being made "human". In 1989, Klein presented the first ever sculpture that portrays a character in the likeness of a character with a specific set of eyes. He also portrayed human figures on Mars, an interspecies encounter during the Apollo space mission.[4] (…)
