Book summary
This pop-up book is the story of Italian Renaissance sculptor, engineer, and architect Filippo Brunelleschi. Brunelleschi developed the theory of perspective and designed the Cathedral of Florence. The cathedral remained unfinished for a number of years as no one knew how to construct the large dome indicated in Brunelleschi's plans. The cathedral and city of Florence had to wait for the return of Brunelleschi before the project could be completed.
