Casa Buonarroti - Florence

Casa Buonarroti is located on Via Ghibellina in Florence, Italy.  It was here that the famed artist lived, in his family home, on property that has now been turned into a museum devoted to his works.  The original structures which occupied this spot were begun in 1546, around the time that Michelangelo would have lived here.  In 1612, the existing buildings were modified and incorporated, using designs of Michelangelo, into a new structure, which is what stands today.  The last Buonarroti, Cosimo, died in 1858 and left the building to the city of Florence, at which point it was opened as a museum.
