'''Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni''' (1475 – 1564), simply known as '''Michelangelo''', was an [[Italy|Italian]] [[Renaissance]] painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer.<br />
<br />
His skill was regarded so highly that he was often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal "Renaissance man", alongside his rival and fellow [[Tuscany|Tuscan]], [[Leonardo da Vinci]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
In the late 15th century, Michelangelo wrote a letter to his father, which was [[Speedy Delivery|delivered]] to him in Tuscany by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref><br />
<br />
In the message, Michelangelo revealed that he had abandoned his schooling almost a week previous, as he had "felt the world flying by," and desired to be a part of it. He stated that he wanted to live up to his father's expectations, but also asked for his blessing to become an artist, an occupation his father greatly disapproved of.<ref name="AC2" /><br />
<br />
At that time, {{Wiki|Domenico Ghirlandaio}} had just invited Michelangelo to join him as an apprentice, and Michelangelo praised the "masterful work" he had done in the [[Capella Sistina]], wishing he would be able to see it one day.<ref name="AC2" /><br />
<br />
By 1511, Michelangelo had become a good friend of Ezio Auditore.<ref name="ACRV novel">[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' novel]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Michelangelo is represented in the Artists [[Mnemonic sets|mnemonic set]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''.<br />
*Though developers commented on the iconic experience of [[freerunning]] past Michelangelo's fresco on the Capella Sistina ceiling, it was not present within the timeframe of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', and so it was not included.<br />
