Michelangelo was born in a small village of Caprese on March 6, 1475 and was the son of government administrator. He had 4 brothers, Leonardo Buonarroti Simoni, Gismondo Buonarroti Simoni, Buonarroto Buonarroti Simoni, and Giovan Simone Buonarroti Simoni. His mother´s name was Francesca di Neri del Miniato di Siena and his father´s name was Ludovico di Leonardo di Buonarotto Simoni. He grew up in Florence and became an artist apprentice at the age of 13. His mother was ill so he was placed with a family of stone cutters. Michelangelo was less interested in schooling instead of watching people draw and drawing what he see´s.
