bio of an artist
I am having trouble understanding this sentence.
Per il suo peso è qui esposto anche il gruppo scultoreo raffigurante Michelangelo fanciullo scolpisce la testa del fauno, eseguito a fine Ottocento da Emilio Zocchi, che per cronologia e tematica avrebbe dovuto essere esposto al primo piano, nella Sala di Michelangelo nell’Ottocento.
Is my translation correct?
Also displayed here, because of its weight, is the sculptural group depicting Michelangelo as a boy carves the head of the faun, executed in the late 19th century by Emilio Zocchi. According to its chronology and theme it should have been displayed on the first floor, in Sala di Michelangelo in the nineteenth century.
Is this saying it should have been displayed in the 19th century?
Thank you.

in the Michelangelo's Hall in the Nineteenth Century
nell'ottocento = in the Nineteenth Century
Hall of Prisoners at the Accademia Gallery
Used in the nineteenth century to display ancient paintings from the various collections, the Galleria was later altered to house the unfinished statues by Michelangelo, thus creating a specific, unified itinerary that culminates in the center of the Tribune where Michelangelo’s David stands under a halo-like dome.
The Hall takes its name from the four large sculptures showing male nudes known as the Slaves or Prisoners or Captives. They were begun by Michelangelo for a grandiose project for the tomb of Pope Julius II della Rovere. The first commission dates back to 1505, before the assignment of the Sistine Chapel (1508), and it was meant to be the most magnificent tomb of Christian times, composed by more than 40 figures. The four Prisoners were carved for the pillars on the lower level of the tomb, intended for the grand Basilica of St. Peter’s in Rome. Michelangelo spent months in the Carrara quarries to personally select the brightest marble he likes necessary, marking each selected block with three circles. Due to a mounting shortage of money, the pope ordered him to put aside the tomb project in 1506.
