Research Project: Correggio, An introduction

To start out my research project I'm reading the book by David Ekserdjian called Correggio. Correggio's real name was Antonio Allegri. Not much is know about this man's day to day life and even less of his personality. Even the date of his birth-1489-is only an approximate one. What is known about him is that he got married in Correggio to a girl Hieronima in 1521 and had several children. Before his second child was born the family had moved to Parma, which was where he did most of his larger scale projects. The majority of patrons he worked for are only know because, they were his patrons.
