Michelangelo's Grocery List

1/9/2014

The Italian High Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer Michelangelo faced a less complicated shopping problem in the 15th and 16th century: he had to send assistants off to market to bring back his groceries. Since many of Michelangelo's assistants were illiterate, this is the creative adaptation he came up with to get what he needed.

This is not the same type of grocery list that each of us scribble out on a regular basis, or make notes out of using electronic devices
. With only few of Michelangelo's documents surviving today, it is so interesting to see that even his grocery lists contain the same artistic flair and precision that exists in his renowned sculptures and paintings.


These are a few of the items illustrated in this shopping list — a herring, tortelli, two fennel soups, four anchovies and ‘a small quarter of a rough wine.'
