 Caprese Michelangelo
The name of this old village honours the artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, its greatest citizen.
Amid chestnut groves the village preserves its perimetral plan.
The Casa del Podestà, where the artist was born, houses now the Museo Michelangiolesco which displays life-size copies of Michelangelo’s masterpieces and interesting works by the best contemporary sculptors.
