After the death of his mother when he was seven years old, Michelangelo lived with a stonecutter and his wife and family in the town of Settignano. When very young he was allowed to take part in sculptor training, and there he was noticed by Lorenzo "il Magnifico" dei Medici. Lorenzo then let young Michelangelo come and go in Lorenzo's home much as he pleased. He did not move into that house, though.

Lorenzo de Medici was the patron of a school for talented sculptors located in the garden of his palazzo. When he met the young Michelangelo, he immediately saw talent in him ( in the occasion, Michelangelo showed Lorenzo a sculpture of a fawn, which is credited for being Michelangelo's first sculpture and is now lost). Upon realizing Michelangelo's talent, Lorenzo invited him to join the sculptors' school and also invited him to come live in his palazzo with his family. Lorenzo really took Michelangelo under his wing.
