Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy, a village where his father, Lodovico Buonarroti, was briefly serving as a Florentine government agent. The family moved back to Florence before Michelangelo was one month old. Michelangelo's mother died when he was six.
On March 6, 1475, Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Tuscany, Italy to Ludovico di Leonardo di Buonarotto Simoni and Francesca Neri. He was one of five boys (talk about having your hands full!). His mother was too sick to nurse Michelangelo, so he was placed with a wet nurse, in a family of stone cutters. (A wet nurse is a woman who, having milk because she is nursing her own child, takes on another woman's child to nurse as well.) His natural mother died when Michelangelo was only six years old. His love for sculpting came so naturally to him that he would claim in his later years that it had come to him in his wet-nurse's milk. Michelangelo's father encouraged young Michelangelo to become a buisnessman. This would bring honor and money to the family. One can only imagine the scene that took place when Michealangelo, at 13, told his father he wished to become an artist instead.
