Lovers

The first part of the final sentence in the lede ("The two men remained lifelong lovers, and Cavalieri was present at the artist's death") isn't reflected in the PDF given as a source.

Two relevant paragraphs from the PDF:

Even though this might sound like a letter between lovers to our modern ears, and Michelangelo often referred to Cavalieri’s beauty in his writing, it is unlikely the two men were ever involved physically. Other writers of the time also remarked upon Cavalieri’s striking physical appearance, and in the sixteenth century, such beautiful young men were often held up for public praise as examples of God’s spirit in human form.

In 1533, Cavalieri wrote appreciatively to Michelangelo that he had been studying the drawings which the artist had given him for two hours a day. The friendship between the two men would endure for thirty years. Cavalieri was present at the artist’s death in 1564 and subsequently helped to realise some of his architectural schemes. He so valued the drawings by Michelangelo that Vasari was to say: ‘…in truth he rightly treasures them as relics’.

I've added a citation needed tag for now. Barring any reliable source appearing I'll rephrase the sentence to describe a platonic friendship in accordance with the current source. 122.59.64.248 (talk) 02:38, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

This has gone a week without comment. So I (being the above IP user, for clarity) have made the appropriate change to the article. 203.97.181.188 (talk) 21:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
