The discovery I chose was Brunelleschi's dome for Florence's cathedral. I love architecture and learning more about the history of the art. That is why I chose this topic. A little background about the Cathedral itself; the building was built to be an architectural masterpiece. So, the cathedral was planned to have a massive dome measuring 150 ft across and beginning at a height of 180 ft. The overseers built the entire building except for the dome, because they had no idea how to accomplish the feat. They ended up making a sort of “competition” with a reward of 200 gold florins to the person who could come up with a good plan. It was very interesting to me that Brunelleschi was a goldsmith (who had also tinkered in multiple different crafts)
