For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the turbulent relationship between Michelangelo Buonarroti and the Medici rulers of Florence. And in a few days, I will be beginning a speaking tour on this very topic. This will take me to Detroit (9 March), Toronto (12 March), London, Ont. (13 March) and Chicago (21 March). Then later, who knows where else?! If you live in those parts of the world, it would be great to meet you! See below for the relevant times and places.

ReplyDeletecome to Britain one day as well! Good luck with your tour.
In April, I will be having lunch in New London (Connecticut) as well. I have not been to the "Real London" for far too long! Many thanks for the good wishes.
