Used to be Pippo the Fool in point of fact Pippo the Genius?

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence Used to be a marvel of art, architecture, and engineering. But it surely lacked a finishing ornament, a crown–a dome! The city fathers had a solution: to invite the finest masters to compete for the chance to design a dome. The rumors of this contest reached the ears of Filippo Brunelleschi, better known in Florence as Pippo the Fool. As soon as he heard in regards to the contest, Pippo knew it Used to be the chance he had been looking forward to. “If I will be able to win the contest, I will be able to in the end lose that nickname once and for all!”

This book tells the story of the construction of an architectural masterpiece–Brunelleschi’s Dome. Tracey E. Fern depicts Pippo’s prickly personality with humor and warmth, and Pau Estrada’s richly detailed illustrations bring Renaissance Florence to life. A very good way to introduce kids to crucial moment in Western engineering and history.
