The year was 1436. The place: Florence. The cathedral: Santa Maria del Fiore.
All Florentine eyes looked up to the mighty dome that Brunelleschi alone had successfully devised to cap the cathedral roof. With his master achievement Florence took on its characteristic landscape and led the Western World into the light of the Renaissance. For the next 100 years Florence was to be the cradle of rebirth in art, architecture and philosophy. Seminal figures like Michelangelo, Botticelli, Ghiberti, Cellini, Lorenzo de Medici and Leonardo da Vinci flourished and brought forth the treasures of Western Civilization: The David, The Baptistry Doors, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Pazzi Chapel, the Medici and Uffizi palace, the Birth of Venus.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very Dissapointing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Florence: Cradle of the Renaissance [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The picture quality is that of a tourist learning to operate his or her new video camera. So many close ups of important pieces of art were out of focus.The narrator's accent reminded me of Eliza Doolittle's affected speech from My Fair Lady and was very annoying. The narration was poorly written, redundant and boring. I begrudgingly gave this one star because the system would not allow me to input less than one.
