Sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer Michelangelo send assistants off to market to bring back what he needed. Because the servant he was sending to market was illiterate, Michelangelo illustrated the shopping lists. He wants pani dua (two loaves of bread), un aria (a herring), tortelli, a salami and un bocal di vino (a quart of wine).
The shopping list - which dates from 1518 - comes from the collection of the Florence museum Casa Buonarroti.
