Thank you! :) he died at 88, which is quite an advanced age considering the era he lived in. Good genes, or maybe it was also thanks to his balanced diet…
Yes, I had the same doubt as well... Considering it was meant for the third meal in the list, I ultimately thought it referred to the ingredients for the fennel soup. By the way, in the second part of this article, I will publish the recipe for a fennel soup that I found in an Italian cookbook from Michelangelo's time. Perhaps, back in 1518, Michelangelo ate something similar.
I didn't get the notification for this article, I'm glad I found it! Michelangelo had an excellent diet, good for the Maestro.

It's still remarkable now. Good genes, good diet, the full-bodied wine probably helped too.🍷
I suspect so ;-)
I'm curious about the fennel soup. Could you buy soup readymade? Did it come in a jug? Or maybe he just means the ingredients to make it.

Looking forward to it!
