Description
Pippo the Fool: A Story of Genius
The construction of Brunelleschi's Dome in Florence was a groundbreaking achievement in art, architecture, and engineering. In 1436, the city fathers invited skilled masters to design a dome for their cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore. Pippo Brunelleschi, known as Pippo the Fool, saw this as his chance to prove himself.
This book tells the story of Brunelleschi's Dome, from its conception to its completion. With humor and warmth, Tracey E. Fern brings Pippo's prickly personality to life, while Pau Estrada's illustrations bring Renaissance Florence to vivid life.
