Was Pippo the Fool really Pippo the Genius?
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was a marvel of
art, architecture, and engineering. But it 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 about the contest, Pippo knew it was the chance he had
been waiting for. "If I can win the contest, I will finally 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. An
excellent way to introduce kids to an important moment in Western
engineering and history.
Partially accurate, this loving story of Picasso and his cat Minou
shows us where the famous painter gathered his inspirationthe
critical cat that either loved or hated his paintings, and was the
cause of Picassos rise to fame.
