Thank you for this most excellent post. One of my favourite books describes this incredible achievement- I also love the open dome and watching the rain fall in the Pantheon in Rome as another jaw dropping act of designer daring from the past.
Humanity might have peaked when we were competing to build a dome. Now, we compete to build weapons of mass destruction. It's kind of sad that we have used our ingenuity to create things that destroy instead of create.
Hi James, thank you so such for this. I live 3 hours away and haven't visited and also never knew this. I'm setting my intention to visit this year.
Amazing Vincent!

🇨🇵Paris and ⚜️Florence kept the Skyscrapers at bay, unlike London.
