WEBINAR RECORDING |“Italy’s Great Artists: Brunelleschi”

Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

The goldsmith-turned-revolutionary-architect Filippo Brunelleschi made a name for himself in early Renaissance Florence with projects such as the Hospital of the Innocents and the Medici-sponsored Old Sacristy of San Lorenzo. But the project that best defines Brunelleschi’s ingegno and vision was the design and execution of the dome of Florence cathedral. He was the first to resurrect an architectural language that had been dead for a millennium, and to re-establish that Classical language as the foundation of Italian architecture for the next two and half centuries. Join Dr. Rocky for this free webinar where he will examine the extraordinary career of his favorite architect!

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
