David's creator was born in the lost village of Caprese (today called Caprese Michelangelo), 17km south of Chiusi della Verna, and the small stone house where the artist grew up can be visited. Right at the top of the hilltop village, next to Caprese's medieval castle, the Museo Michelangeliolesco tells the tale of Michelangelo's childhood roamings in the countryside here and his subsequent artistic career through a series of plaster casts.
