“Battaglia dei Centauri” (detail) by Michelangelo, 1492 (Sailko / CC BY-SA 3.0)

Casa Buonarroti in Florence offers an intimate perspective on Michelangelo’s life and legacy, distinct from his monumental public works. The house museum is a carefully constructed site of family memory, shaped by Michelangelo’s descendants in the 17th century. Through Casa Buonarroti’s architecture, decorative programs, and collection of early works—including the “Madonna della Scala” and “Battaglia dei Centauri”— Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero reveals how examples of artistic genius were curated within a domestic setting.
