I always liked the part where Benny modestly describes how he saved the Pope more or less singlehandedly while defending Castel Sant'Angelo.

Also, nearly burning down his workshop while melting bronze for his statue of Perseus.

An illustrated version of this book would be wonderful.

The Phaidon paperback edition (with the purple cover) has almost 100 plates, both Cellini's work and portraits and work by other people he mentions. Only black-and-white, though, but it's quite nice.
