Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Michelangelo

Vasari and Condivi, Michelangelo's pupils and enthusiastic biographers, maintain that the Buon arroti family was closely related to the great house of the Counts Of Canossa, a conviction fully Shared, curiously enough, by the artist him self, who rather prided himself on his aristocratic connection. But recent genealogical researches have proved beyond all doubt that, although Of gentle birth (both his father and his mother, Ma donna Francesca di Miniato Del Sera, coming of ancient Florentine stock), Michelangelo could not in reality lay claim to even distant ties of kinship with the Canossa family.
