SummaryMichelangelo Buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475, to the wife of a podesta in the diocese of Arezzo. As podesta, his father held an executive and judicial office of the Republican city-states. When his term in office ended, Michelangelo’s father moved the family to their villa right outside of Florence. Michelangelo spent the better part of his childhood secretly drawing because his father regarded drawing as “an unworthy undertaking for their ancient house” and he “was scolded and sometimes beaten by his father and his elders” when he got caught.
