• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 20 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti by John Addington Symonds. The Buonarroti Simoni, to whom Michelangelo belonged, were a Florentine family of ancient burgher nobility. According to a vague tradition, the Simoni drew their blood from the high and puissant Counts of Canossa. Michelangelo himself believed in this pedigree, for which there is, however, no foundation in fact, and no heraldic corroboration. According to his friend and biographer Condivi, the sculptor’s first Florentine ancestor was a Messer Simone dei Conti di Canossa, who came in 1250 as Podesta to Florence.
