A Monument to Michelangelo

---

For the last thirty years of his life Michelangelo lived in self-imposed exile in Rome. He lived in Via Macel de Corvi, close to the church of Santa Maria in Loreto. There he died on February 18th 1564, less than three weeks short of his 89th birthday.

​His body was moved to the nearby church of Santi XII Apostoli before being taken to Florence for burial.

​There is a monument to Michelangelo, the work of Giacomo del Duca, in one of the two cloisters of the church.
