Michaelangelo Buonarotti was my ancestor, and it has been proven many times that the two were more than friends; Michelangelo Buonarroti was 57 year-old when he met with Tommaso Cavalieri, in the summer of 1532, in Rome. Handsome and with a sharp mind, Cavalieri was a little over 20 years old, and was the son of an influential Roman family. The passionate love of Michelangelo for Tommaso is clearly expressed in several sonnets where the artist talks both of his physical and spiritual love, and for him painted life-size portraits. In Tommaso Cavalieri's beauty, Michelangelo found an inspirational source. He made drawings and paintings inspired by his beloved and gave them to him. Cavalieri was with him when he died at the age of 89. http://www.andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/biom4/mich07/mich6.html [Link added Mar. 3, 2008 by Zbeckabee] Mar 11 07, 1:03 PM

Is it true Peter Bogdanovich had an affair with a young teen... Doesn't that make him a paedophile? This significant literary figure, trained as a physician, had an affair with the wife of a famous novelist who himself enjoyed a longtime mistress. A second writer's disagreement with him on a point of critical theory resulted in that writer's production of one of the world's most famous works of prose, one that, ironically, rather undermined its author's position. Who was the literary figure, who was the "cuckolded" novelist, and what is the famous work? What was the name of the movie Jean Seberg starred in where she had an affair with a US naval officer in Italy? A number of French artists are associated with the Revolution, but this one, despite having blazed a trail in the Royal Academy, had to flee the country owing to problematic patronage connections. Those same connections allowed the artist in question to enjoy a very successful career abroad and, eventually, to receive an invitation to return to France from Napoleon. Who was this artist, and who was the artist's most famous patron?
