No, he was Italian. Michelagniolodi Lodovico di Lionardo di Buonarroti Simone was born in Caprese in Tuscany

Michelangelo wasn't black, I don't see why Afro-revisionist keep claiming this. They love to claim every prominent figure as black. Why are you even mentioning Alessandro? Alessandro De Medici (1510-1537) only ruled Florence for seven years. Alessandro De Medici was a mulatto, his father was white and his mother was black. I don't see why this idiot above me even mentioned him. He could pass as your average Italian anyways, especially since most Italians/Spaniards have a large amount of African in them. They pull this same nonsense with Mozart and John Hanson (even though it's been debunked a million times): Mozart myth: Mozart's complexion: Mozart's physical appearance was described by tenor Michael Kelly, in his Reminiscences: "a remarkably small man, very thin and pale, with a profusion of fine, fair hair of which he was rather vain". His early biographer Niemetschek wrote, "there was nothing special about his physique. He was small and his countenance, except for his large intense eyes, gave no signs of his genius." Klara is a Classical radio station in Belgium. The so called "black Mozart" is nothing more than a photoshopped image of Mozart, which was used as an advert for their new Jazz program. These photoshopped images were created back in 2004. Since they won't allow me to post a link to the site on here, look up adeevee: Klara Classical Radio Station Beethoven - Mozart print. They also love to claim Chevalier de Saint-Georges (December 25, 1745 - June 10, 1799) is the white Mozart. Joseph Bologne was known as the "black Mozart".

You can easily look up paintings and sculptures that were made during his lifetime that depict him as white:

Portrait of Michelangelo by Daniele da Volterra

Portrait of Michelangelo by Jacopino del Carto, about 1540
