Michelangelo was put out to nurse by Lodovico in that village with the
wife of a stonecutter: wherefore the same Michelangelo, discoursing
once with Vasari, said to him jestingly, "Giorgio, if I have anything
of the good in my brain, it has come from my being born in the pure
air of your country of Arezzo, even as I also sucked in with my
nurse's milk the chisels and hammer with which I make my figures".

Giorgio Vasari. Lives of the most eminent painters, sculptors and
architects. Random House 1959. (Original Italian first published in
1550)
