Hello Florence Duomo! I think I love it because they couldn’t figure out how to do it and he finally did. Love a problem solver 😁 #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts - ThreadSky

Easily one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, though the inside is rather bare and disappointing to me #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

💯I love that they started it without knowing how to build the dome nor having the tools/expertise/knowledge to do it. Someone will eventual come along with a solution 😀

I love the optimism of this. Can you imagine that now? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

The one benefit they had was how long it was going to take until they reached the point they needed to build the dome. Today, unless it Sagrada Familia, nothing takes more than a year, maybe 2, to build. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

True. But that investing in something you’ll never see is so contrary to modern ideal #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

But now they don’t build like they used to which is a shame. Would love to see more of that stunning architecture #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

There are some. Take Chicago, where every new building has to have a feature that is “architecturally interesting.” I love it when it happens #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

Oh nice! We need more of that #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

And the kicker is that Brunelleschi was first a goldsmith! Damn 🤯
