Bardeschi Ciulich and P. Ragionieri  exhibition catalogue: Florence, Casa Buonarroti, 18 July 2001-7 January 2002  The exhibition \u201cLife of Michelangelo\u201d (Florence, Casa Buonarroti, July 18, 2001-January 7, 2002) represents the last stage in an extensive research program initiated more than a decade ago by the scholars of Casa Buonarroti and based on the close scrutiny of a wealth of autograph documents.  Work-site journals and sketches by Michelangelo are displayed alongside the artist\u2019s correspondence with Pietro Aretino and with his closest friends (notably Tommaso de\u2019 Cavalieri and Vittoria Colonna), and the letters addressed to him by eminent patrons such as Caterina de\u2019 Medici, at the time Queen of France, and Grand Duke Cosimo. Following this chronological thread, the exhibition brings together a number of masterful efforts by Michelangelo, as well as works by contemporary artists. Among the former are a very fine Annunciation, usually kept at the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi and only seldom shown to the public, the famous Cleopatra sketches, and extraordinary architectural drawings such as the third project for the fa\u00e7ade of San Lorenzo, the plan for San Giovanni dei Fiorentini in Rome and a sketch of Porta Pia, also in Rome; the latter include an Annunciation by Domenico Ghirlandaio, a precious manuscript illuminated by master-miniaturist Monte di Giovanni, a Venus and Cupid by Pontormo (after a lost drawing by Michelangelo), the portrait of Duke Alessandro by Giorgio Vasari from the Uffizi Gallery, and a portrait and two painted wooden tablets by Alessandro Allori.  These priceless works are accompanied, and commented upon, by a wide-ranging collection of interesting pieces, all inspired by Michelangelo\u2019s work: varying in period, school and technique, these pieces \u2013 etchings, prints, engravings, small bronzes, medals, carvings (an excellent Fall of Phaethon from The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, deserves special mention) \u2013 all attest to the lasting influence of Michelangelo\u2019s masterpieces.  Introduced by a preface due to Casa Buonarroti\u2019s Director Pina Ragionieri, and by a comprehensive essay on Michelangelo\u2019s handwriting by Lucilla Bardeschi Ciulich, the catalogue is composed of 108 short essays devoted to the works on display, each of them complete with up-to-date bibliography. The volume also includes \u201cMichelangelo. Vita e opere\u201d, a detailed biography of the artist by Marcella Marongiu."}
