1h 1m
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 second of a 5-part free webinar series where he will explore three of medieval Europe’s most celebrated Romanesque churches. Consecrated in 1018 A.D., San Miniato al Monte, in Florence, houses an eclectic mix of artistic styles within its distinctly mysterious and mystical atmosphere. Florence's Baptistry has instead long been the heart of Florentine society and tradition. Pisa’s majestic marble cathedral and its elegant, albeit crooked, tower are among the greatest architectural achievements of the Middle Ages.
