jan 1, 1436 - Duomo's Dome is Completed
Description:
The completion of the Duomo's dome by Brunelleschi marks the high-watermark of the Age of Cosimo de' Medici and his patronage of the arts. It also serves as an example of the Medici's veiled lordship. In 1403, the Calimala guild hosted a contest to make new doors for the Duomo's baptistry, yet another example of discreet patronage.
