Buonarroti House is the house-museum in Florence dedicated to Michelangelo and his descendants, who lived here embellishing the house.
Michelangelo was not born here, but in Caprese in the province of Arezzo, when his father Ludovico di Leonardo, although Florentine, had moved to hold a public office.
It is not even the only residence that Michelangelo lived in in the city, of which there were more than one, but here, in 1508, he had bought three small neighboring plots belonging to the Bonsis.
The news is incorrect that Michelangelo, residing in Rome at the time, never used this house: he was in fact present, on his return from Bologna, at the time of purchase, and was able to see it again and stay there, together with his nephew Leonardo, during the season of works in San Lorenzo (1516-1534).
In 1514 the property had been enlarged by another neighboring fund of the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, purchased by the sculptor.
