Basilica di San Lorenzo, Florence.

San Lorenzo was the Parish Church of the Medici family. In 1419, Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici offered to finance a new Church to replace an 11th-Century Romanesque building. Filippo Brunelleschi, the leading Renaissance Architect of the first half of the 15th-Century, was commissioned to design it, but the building was not completed until after his death.

Text from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia,

unless stated otherwise.

Filippo di ser Brunellesco di Lippo Lapi (1377 – 15 April 1446), commonly known as Filippo Brunelleschi and also nicknamed Pippo by Leon Battista Alberti,[4] was an Italian Architect, Designer, Goldsmith, and Sculptor. 

He is considered to be a Founding Father of Renaissance Architecture. He is recognised as the first modern Engineer, Planner, and Sole Construction Supervisor.[5][6] 

In 1421, Brunelleschi became the first person to receive a patent in the Western World.[7][8] 

He is most famous for designing the Dome of Florence Cathedral, and for the mathematical technique of Linear Perspective in Art, which governed pictorial depictions of space until the Late-19th-Century and influenced the rise of modern science.[9][10] 

His accomplishments also include other architectural works, sculpture, mathematics, engineering, and ship design.[6] Most surviving works can be found in Florence.
