Reading The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini | Alexandria
Read The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini by Benvenuto Cellini. Brawling through Renaissance Italy, Cellini's scandalous memoir reveals how genius and violence can intertwine. The goldsmith-philosopher argued that true art requires ruthless ambition - a radical view that questions modern myths about creativity requiring inner peace. His volatile path to mastery still challenges assumptions about the role of conflict in creation.
