Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini Vol 2

by Benvenuto Cellini

Benvenuto Cellini's autobiography is a captivating and often shocking account of his extraordinary life during the Italian Renaissance. A gifted sculptor and goldsmith, Cellini reveals a complex and multifaceted personality, driven by ambition, passion, and a penchant for trouble. From his audacious escapes from prison to his encounters with the supernatural, the book is a whirlwind of adventure, intrigue, and self-reflection. Cellini's candid confessions about his loves, hates, and even murders paint a vivid picture of a man who lived life on his own terms, regardless of the consequences.
