I've spent 16 years researching the life of Cuban-American pianist Jorge Bolet.  Though I've listened to Michelangeli on-and-off for many years, I don't regard myself as an expert on his life; but I have been fascinated by what I know of him, and thought it would be good to put it all down on [virtual] paper. I'm very happy to receive additional information and/or corrections.

 

Some of the more important sources of information for this website include:

​

Pier Carlo Della Ferrera

John Bell Young

​

​Piero Rattalino, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, «Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani», Roma, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia italiana, 2010

​

An invaluable source is this (I've had to use Google Translate for the Czech) :

Katia Vendrame. Intepretive profile of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli/ Interpretační profil Artura Benedettiho Michelangeliho (Brno, 2022). LINK​​
