WEBINAR RECORDING | “Italy’s Great Monuments: Florence Baptistery”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Join me for this free webinar that will explore the history and architecture of the most important monument in Florence, Italy. Nearly a millennium old, this Romanesque building has always been the heart of Florentine society and tradition. We will also examine the breathtaking mosaics that decorate the ceiling of Florence Baptistery. Epic in scale and subject matter, and excruciatingly meticulous in execution, the shimmering mosaics represent one of medieval Europe’s greatest works of art.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
