Michelangelo’s Family and Early Influences
Lineage
Michelangelo hailed from a prominent Florentine banking family, the
Buonarroti, who, despite their esteemed name, had unfortunately lost much of
their fortune.
Father
His father, Ludovico Buonarroti Simoni, held a respectable position as a local
government official in Caprese and later in Florence.
The Stonecutter's family
Significantly, Michelangelo was raised for a period by a wet nurse in Settignano,
whose husband and father were stonecutters. This early exposure to the craft
profoundly influenced his lifelong passion for sculpture.

David: A Symbol of Florentine Republic
David
Michelangelo’s David, sculpted between 1501 and 1504, stands as one of the
most iconic masterpieces of the High Renaissance. Carved from a single,
imposing block of marble, the sculpture embodies the biblical hero David
poised before his epic confrontation with Goliath.
At a towering 17 feet, David became more than just a religious figure; it
transformed into a powerful symbol of strength, youthful beauty, and the
resolute spirit of the Florentine Republic against tyranny. Initially
commissioned for Florence’s Cathedral, its profound impact led to its
placement in a public square, where it served as a civic emblem.
Today, David continues to captivate audiences worldwide, celebrated for its
exquisite anatomical detail, lifelike pose, and the raw emotional power
conveyed through Michelangelo’s masterful hand.
