Filippo Brunelleschi is my name. I was born to Brunellesco Di Lippo a man who worked as a lawyer and a notary and my mother Giulianna Spini. Of coarse by being the son of a well knowledge man I got to learn about the principals of letters and the abacus and writing. As a boy with a mind of my own which indeed focused on art, I went into the profession of goldsmithing and made a life out of doing art.
At the age of 24yrs old in 1401, I entered into a contest which unfortunently I did not win... for I was up against the great Lorenzo Ghiberti.
Well as for my architecture the best well known piece would be my biggest piece... for its the Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore.
