WEBINAR RECORDING | “Florence: The Art of Magnificence”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Florence, Italy, was the cradle of the Renaissance and the birthplace of the modern world. From Dante to Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, this central Italian city produced the greatest concentration of artistic genius in history.

The legacy of this creative explosion is still very much present in the city. Whether it is Brunelleschi’s crowning dome above the titanic cathedral, Ghiberti’s stunning golden doors known as The Gates of Paradise, Botticelli’s beautiful painting of the Birth of Venus or Michelangelo’s unrivaled statue of David, beauty and inspiration are found in every corner of this open-air museum that is Florence.

This webinar will tell the story of Florence through its art, architecture and history – a story that is simply magnificent!

The webinar recording consists of a 45 minute lecture.
