Lentorama 2007: The Non-Canonized Catholic Person of the Day

Today's person is Michaelangelo, who was born on this day in 1475. David, Pieta, the Sistine Chapel paintings, the dome of St. Peter's, Julius II's tomb, and so on.

And while there's all that connection between religion, art, and architecture, what may be less well known is Michaelangelo's poetry. Probably because much of his written work was penned for younger males. That's something they didn't really hit on in The Agony and the Ecstacy.
