Caprese Michelangelo

Caprese Michelangelo lies in the upper Tiber Valley, where wooded Apennine foothills rise around a small Tuscan hill town. It is best known as the birthplace of Michelangelo Buonarroti, born here in 1475 while his father, Lodovico, served as the local podestà. The Museo Casa Natale di Michelangelo occupies the castle complex associated with the family’s stay and preserves the town’s connection to the Renaissance master. Set in the Valtiberina Toscana, Caprese belongs to an inland Tuscany shaped less by the great art cities than by mountain roads, chestnut woods and long-established rural settlements.
