Goldsmith-turned-architect Filippo Brunelleschi is often described in both scholarly and popular accounts as the perfect balance of architect and engineer, visionary and traditionalist. He was arguably the first to resurrect an architectural language that had been dead for a millennium and to re-establish that language as the foundation of Italian architecture for the next two and half centuries.
Dr. Rocky Ruggiero, who divides his time between Italy and the United States, has lectured on Italian art and architecture for American university programs in Italy for the past 20 years, including those of Syracuse, Kent State, Vanderbilt, and Boston College.
