Best Answer

Yes, Caravaggio was Italian.

Specifically, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was born in Milan. His parents, Fermo and Lucia, were from the Bergamo area. They subsequently were residents of Caravaggio and Milan.

Bergamo, Caravaggio, and Milan are all located in the northern Italian region of Lombardy.
