Reassured that I could skip stories phew
Engaging lecture! So fun to watch. Thank you.
Infamy! Either you are plagiarising John Andrews, or vice-versa. Entire sections are word-for-word. Whose lecture is this, really? - czcams.com/video/ftguObB7R90/video.html
He's so funny!! I feel like so many jokes went over his students head 😭 he deserved a better crowd!! Jokes aside, very informative while still easy to listen to, very much appreciate the great content! ❤ thank you for posting this!
Bravo!
LOVE this!
Just got back from Florence and a walk up inside the Duomo. Bought a book in the gift shop (“Brunelleschi’s Dome” by Roberto Corazzi”) and now I’m obsessed. I have Ross’s book in my Amazon cart, and I stumbled across this lecture here. Fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion. 🙏
Really enjoy and appreciate the lectures by this gentleman. I hope you had a lovely wine-tasting trip!

Florence is Jewish influenced
Not our people goinm
Florence embraced the Jews yes
So is Florence a Jew stronghold
Very muddled presentation, he obviously has exceptional knowledge but lacks the skill to impart it in an organised and interesting way.
Very interesting and revealing. An excellent selection.
Fabulous presentation! Bravo!
18 mins in and all i see is an extremely biased view against Cosimo, his mother and religion. So a Catholic guy cant ride a horse and have other interests? Plus all the info so far can easily be found online. Has this guy ever interacted with a religious person? I guess he thinks we are all praying all day and witch hunting at night or something 😂
Please do something about improving the audio on these recordings. I can't even listen to this one it's so bad. Such a shame for the lecture 'sounds' like a very interesting one..
Excellent presentation on an interesting topic. Thank you for being so respectful about Catholicism. It's very much appreciated.
Thanks verymuch💐♥️
Thoroughly enjoyed this excellent talk thank you.
Thanks a lot for this very interesting lecture.

These wonderful lectures are spoiled by poor audio. Get it fixed !
Dear Renzo, thank you for your feedback. We are doing our best to fix the audio of the recordings.
Too bad. The audio is terrible.
Dear Renzo, thank you again for your feedback. We are working hard to fix the audio of our recordings
An excellent, fascinating, extremely well-informed, thought provoking lecture. From a dim corner of memory, Brunelleschi was working on an altarpiece in Pistoia, as that city's domed baptistry was being built, but I may be wrong.
a comment for almost all biflorence videos.... please fix recordings... audio is very bad ...
So here is where disgusting hermeticism/mysticism/neoplatonism entered Europe like a silent plague. This strain of thought that inspired 19th-century esoteric occultism and culminated with the Nazis.
Fascinating subject/source. The diplomatic correspondence associated with Lorenzo a 'precedent'? More specifically, anything on Mary Queen of Scots and the failed marriage plans for/of Elizabeth I?
Skipping the q and a. Two things. 1. I had hoped to hear more of the social breakdown of literacy levels in the Italian language at that time. Because literacy in England connected to being able to read the protestant Bible in English. The Vatican was stuck on Latin until the 1960s lol. 2. That begs my other question. You did address it near the end. I looked it up. The advent of the printing press. One tidbit I found says that by 1500, Vienna was the most successful printing center in W Europe. That doesn't mean newspapers. But I see it's another fellow's bailiwick that you leave to him at the end. Enjoyed very much.
I thought Venice was the most successful? They even printed books in Hebrew there.
@@kaloarepo288 by the year 1500 most major cities of Europe had thriving printing industries. Venice, as a center of mercantile activity, was particularly notable for its variety of published works and the innovation of its typography.
@@Polit_Burro And how was Chinese printing different to European? We all know that China had printing hundreds of years before Europe but were they the same type of thing (No pun intended!)
@@kaloarepo288 No, Chinese Lithography was different than the movable (cast) types, but even those were predated by bronze cast type produced on what is today the Korean peninsula.
@@Polit_Burro Did you know that there is a cathedral in north east Italy in Cividale del Friuli (150 kilometers from Venice) that has an altar inscription dating to about 1200 AD and this inscription was done by metal punches. It's called the altar of Pellegrino II.? It shows that Europeans were aware of printing technology long before Gutenburg . But I suppose that Gutenburg used the wine press model to come up with his invention.
I'm sorry the speaker is so condescending about the family. To dismiss Façade is simply ignorant. Edith, too, had to self-promote, because she was poor. His attitude sours an otherwise interesting talk (badly recorded).
22:20 - I've got to find that.
Remarable the father made the mother go to debtors prison
What an interesting lecture
thank you so much for this wonderful conference. May I ask about the position which was recommended to keep on bed, couldn't sleep without holding a "sitting" position in order to avoid death ? reason why on paintings they always seem to be sitting rather than lying.
I read "Rapides" that is a good novel.
Great!! Many thanks!
Cennino Cennini compared some aspects of painting with 'cookery'.
Also very disturbed by the Savonarola.
How frustrating when people ask questions without having done any studying first .. who would attend without having basic understanding. I cringed at that first question posed to you. Professore Ricciardelli, I look forward to attending one of your lectures in the future. I am interested in the cross-section with the Borgias; and the later lineage, specifically Catherine de Medici and what transpired between her birth and being saved by her uncle, a medici pope. And leaving for France.
You sound like a pompous fool. Asking questions without studying its how most people learn. They develop a curiosity for a subject or are forced to learn about it in academia and they listen to a discussion on the subject then that gives them questions that some one who has studied a subject may already know. The fool is not the one who asks questions but the one who thinks he knows and mocks those who seek to learn.
The date you had on your slide for the visit made by Queen Victoria is incorrect
This is a fantastic book.
Thank you, really great! (But...could we all consider stopping being carbon-copies and stop automatically saying, "That's a great question..." Enough already, let's wake up and stop being automaton followers....?)
That's a great question!
23:32 anyone see anything strange in the photo??
I can’t name it buts under my “nose”
