{"product_id":"pippo-the-fool","title":"Pippo the Fool","description":"Was Pippo the Fool really Pippo the Genius?\n\nThe Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was a marvel of art, architecture, and engineering. But it lacked a finishing ornament, a crown--a dome! The city fathers had a solution: to invite the finest masters to compete for the chance to design a dome. The rumors of this contest reached the ears of Filippo Brunelleschi, better known in Florence as Pippo the Fool. As soon as he heard about the contest, Pippo knew it was the chance he had been waiting for. \"If I can win the contest, I will finally lose that nickname once and for all!\"\n\nThis book tells the story of the construction of an architectural masterpiece--Brunelleschi's Dome. Tracey E. Fern depicts Pippo's prickly personality with humor and warmth, and Pau Estrada's richly detailed illustrations bring Renaissance Florence to life. An excellent way to introduce kids to an important moment in Western engineering and history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1570916551\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1570916551.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fern, Tracey E.|Estrada, Pau\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
