Caprese Michelangelo owes its notoriety, and part of its name, to the fact that it is the birthplace of Michelangelo Buonarroti, born here in 1475. The first evidence of a settlement in the area dates back to the year 1000 and speaks of a fortification or castle. After Buonarroti's birth, the castle was gradually abandoned and ended up in ruins. Only after the discovery of the famous artist's birth certificate in the 19th century did interest in this small village reignite, giving rise to numerous redevelopment and restoration projects.

Small nice historical settlement on a mountain. The house of Michelangelo can also be seen.
