Wikipedia: QUOTE: "Warren Kirkendale, in his book Emilio de' Cavalieri "Gentiluomo Romano", corrects Panofsky-Soergel's reading of the document and instead translates it to read that Cavalieri was "no more than 16", putting his birth likely in 1520 and meaning he was "but a boy of twelve" when he met Michelangelo." UNQUOTE So Michelangelo was NOT the lover of an adult Tommaso, as someone claimed (a n00b) further down the board. Tommaso was probably 12 when Michelangelo fell in love with him! M. That makes him a pedo in MY book! And those who post misinformation lose credibility in MY book, too! This wasn't that poster's only error of fact in his post... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommaso_dei_Cavalieri  |
