Description:
The video recounts Leonardo's experience at the building site of the dome of Florence Cathedral, of fundamental importance for the engineer's training as an engineer and for the history of technology in general.
This incredible feat is set in the context of 15th-century Florence, which flaunted its economic well-being, to which the so-called Arti, or Florentine guilds of trades, contributed through culture, art and architecture.
