To construct a cupola, or dome, that wouldn’t collapse, Brunelleschi designed a dome to fit the octagonal (eight-sided) base. His cupola has eight massive marble ribs, or arches, that interlock at the lantern at the top of the dome. The weight of these ribs is supported by hoops of oak, iron, and brick that bind them to the base. Over and under the ribs are twin domes, or shells— an inner dome and an outer dome. Between these two domes are 8 large ribs and 16 smaller ribs connected by bricks for additional support.

Michelangelo steadily chiseled away at a giant, misshapen block of marble for two years before he completed his David in 1504. Florentine leaders immediately recognized the work’s tremendous

artistic value. When they placed David on a pedestal and installed the enormous sculpture in the plaza of the city hall, the people of Florence celebrated with dancing and parades. The David quickly

established Michelangelo as the greatest sculptor in all of Italy. Can you sculpt?

Leonardo is said to have painted in the church of Orsanmichele. But his skills and interests took him all over Florence. No matter where Leonardo was, he constantly searched for knowledge. He kept detailed notes and complex drawings on hundreds of subjects. Many of these drawings anticipated inventions long before their time. Most of the 4,200 pages of notes he kept were written in reverse script, or backward, so that they could only be read easily if held up to a mirror. Some historians think Leonardo did this to prevent people from stealing his ideas.
