No I never came to England. Mainland Italy, Sicily and Malta, but not England. It is thought that I may have been murdered though.

It is thought that my foul temper and violent outbursts were caused by me being poisoned by the stuff I used for my work.

Yes. Born in Milan, but left due to the plague.

I've seen his work in Rome, I'm amazed that with his lifestyle he ever got anything done, but his work is amazing. As a man he was horrible.

You are correct John, he died aged 38 on his way to Rome for a pardon from the Pope for the murder. It is not really known how he died there are several theories, from murder to lead poisoning. Well done Smile

Your turn.
