History Lovers, let’s talk 5th Century Renaissance Architecture! There are many notable architects in Florence during this period but today we are going to discuss Filippo Brunelleschi, who many consider a founding father of Renaissance Architecture.
Born in Florence in 1377 he began utilizing his artistic skills as a sculptor with his first five sculptures being produced in 1401. “By using the optical and geometric principles upon which Brunelleschi’s perspective devices were based, the artists of his generation were able to produce works of astonishing realism” stated Isabelle Hyman from the Britannica, referenced below.
Some of his more notable pieces of Renaissance Architecture are listed below. Feel free to do all the google research, I know I would, and let us know which ones you have to see on your Italian Getaway with Savour Travel
*Dome of Santa Maria del fiore (1418-1434)
*Bascilica of San Lorenzo (1419-1460)
*Sagrestia Vecchia of San Lorenzo (1420-1429)
*Barbadori Chapel in San Felicita (1425) later known as Capponi Chapel
*Pazzi Chapel, with other architects (1430-1473)

The cuisine is a huge draw for many to visit Italy but we have found that many are almost as impressed by the fruiting trees that litter the cities! If you didn’t already know this, Italians enjoy their citrus, so it shouldn’t be surprising to hear that their oranges are both plentiful and famous! Ribera oranges, that come in three varieties, are shipped worldwide!
-Oranges of Ribera
🍊Brasiliano
🍊Navelina
🍊Washington Navel
The city of Ribera, in the southern part of Sicily, has been dubbed “The City of Oranges”. They boast some varieties that are light in pulp, seedless, high in Vitamin C and bear an extremely delicious and unique flavor! It’s no surprise why these are such a popular fruit in Italy with their bold flavors and immune boosting qualities!
