Botticelli was born in 1445 and was a famous Renaissance painter during the ‘golden age’, a movement coined by Giorgio Vasari. Born in Florence and a trained goldsmith, like Brunelleschi. While not much is known about the early day’s in Botticelli’s life, he was influenced by Masaccio’s painting and once was under the powerful, dangerous influence of angry Dominican friar, Savonarola. During this time he abandoned his paintings (thought to be a trade against the teachings of the church during this time) and is thought to have destroyed some of his own works. He later came to his senses (thank god) once Savonarola was burned in Piazza della Signoria and he completed famous works including The Birth of Venus and Primavera, featured in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Other famous figures in the Tuscan art, sculpture & architecture world include Giotto, Boccaccio, Donatello and Masaccio, whose works I really respect and enjoy. I should also add Tuscan star Carlo Collodi, creator of Pinocchio and buried in the graveyard of San Miniato al Monte Church in Florence. If I missed anyone, let me know by commenting and sharing and let’s keep this conversation going! Tuscany has also been the home for expats throughout centuries, and you might be surprised to know that many famous English or Americans were born here too (actress Rose McGowan for one!). I also recommend checking out this list of famous singers born in Tuscany via Around Tuscany and this list from IMDB of people born in Florence/Tuscany
