Florence

Description

With the help of 3-D scanning technology, Alexander Armstrong and Dr. Michael Scott explore the romantic city of Florence. They reveal how its wonderful facades and artworks mask a hidden story of intrigue and secrecy and how one powerful family—the Medicis, known as the Godfathers of the Renaissance—was behind it all. They uncover the secrets of one of the most spellbinding achievements of architecture: the dome of Florence's cathedral. And they build a 3D model to reveal just how much of the city masks secret corridors of power that were the foundation of the city's Renaissance glory.
