Another main feature in the renaissance was a man named Filippo Brunelleschi.
He was known as a dreamer, and a nobody, until one day, Cossimo De Medici found
him and took him in. Brunelleschi specialized in mathematics and architecture.
Cossimo wanted a dome. So Brunelleschi created a blueprint, and built it. Later
in time, he wasn't considered a dreamer, but the greatest architect of all time.
He was also considered very dangerous. Because Cossimo had the greatest architect
in Italy, others of royal blood were afraid they would be forgotten. Because Cossimo
had the most valuable person in Italy, it could mean people would look up to Cossimo
and worship him.
