Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

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. In this exclusive webinar, Dr Rocky examines Brunelleschi’s extraordinary architectural career through his major buildings such as the Hospital of the Innocents, the Old Sacristy, the Basilicas of San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito, and the project that best defined the architect’s genius: the dome of Florence Cathedral.
