Cellini

Before Cellini, memoirists tended to restrict themselves to professional accomplishments and philosophy.

There is no shortage of boasting in Autobiography, but Cellini is careful to attribute the praise to his patrons.

Cellini regularly kept young women in his home to serve as models.

“I am wreaking a double vengeance,” writes Cellini, barely suppressing a cackle.

To translate Gozzi with the minute attention to his style which I bestowed upon Cellini would have been unpractical.

Listen, boy: if ever you're trapped and can get to a telephone, call Plaza nine-double-o-one and say 'Benvenuto Cellini.'

He's such a roistering, bragging personage that I've named him Benvenuto Cellini—though he's neither liar nor thief.

A cup of Cellini's work is no doubt very lovely; but it is not beautiful in the same way as the old Celtic cups are beautiful.

Here, perhaps, Benvenuto Cellini devised some glorious metal work.
