| Description: |
During the 25 years he spent building the monument that defines the city of Florence, Filippo Brunelleschi lost his bed in a freak flood and accidentally sank 100 tons of fine, white marble in a riverboat of his own design. Author Ross King deftly lays a score of these high Renaissance adventures into the brickwork of the rising dome. |
