He became an artist because that was what he wanted to do. The works of art he produced were commissioned to him, mainly by the popes.
Michelangelo was Italian. He grew up in Florence, Italy.
Michelangelo was born in Caprese on March 6, 1475 and raised in Florence
Michelangelo's dad was Lodovico di Leonardo di Buonarroti di Simoni. Hope that helps!!
