Taking Risks

During the Renaissance, architect never completed a dome before. They were too afraid that the dome would collapse. Since the recipe for cement was lost, it was practically impossible to construct one. All the architects wouldn't make a dome, except for one who eventually created the "incredible dome", his name was Filippo Brunelleschi. Brunelleschi was known for taking risk, his biggest risk was to build the largest free standing dome in Florence at that time. Brunelleschi wasn't worried about failure, he was patron by the Medici's and when the people heard his way of making the dome, he lost peoples' support because they thought that it was impossible. After 13 years of construction and hard work, Brunelleschi's dome was complete and proved everyone in Florence who doubted him wrong. Without Brunelleschi taking risks, there would probably be no dome in Florence and just a regular roof and he Brunelleschi wouldn't be so famous like he is these days.
