All his youth and during his free time, he studies the cardboard of Michelangelo for The Battle of Cascina and that of Leonard for The Battle of Anghiari.

Andrea opens a workshop with a friend and then continues on his own working for the Church. His reputation as a drawer and his real talent come from the study of Michelangelo.
