The film recounts Leonardo’s experience at the construction site of the Florence Cathedral dome, a milestone in the development of the Vinci Genius as an engineer and in the history of technology in general.
This remarkable endeavor took place within the context of 15th-century Florence, a city that proudly displayed its economic prosperity, supported by the so-called Arti, the guilds of Florentine trades, through culture, art, and architecture.
