WEBINAR RECORDING | “Renaissance Architecture in Florence”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Understanding Italian architecture is understanding Western Civilization. No country has produced such an extraordinary number of iconic architectural monuments over a period of two millennia as has Italy. Join Dr. Rocky for this fourth of a 5-part free webinar series where he will examine the architecture of Filippo Brunelleschi, who was the first architect to revive the Classical language of building in the 15th century with works such as the Hospital of the Innocents, the basilicas of San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito, and the dome of Florence Cathedral.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
