"Filippo: A Renaissance Legacy" Step into the world of Filippo, a name that echoes throughout history and art. From the intricate cross-section Brunelleschi's design for the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence to Lodovico Cardi da Cigoli's contemporary drawing capturing its magnificence, Filippo's genius is undeniable. But there is more to this name than just architectural brilliance. Enter Philip Neri, an Italian saint from the 17th century who left an indelible mark on religious devotion. In "The Meeting of San Carlo Borromeo and San Filippo Neri, " we witness their powerful encounter, a testament to their unwavering faith. Traveling further through time and space, we find ourselves beneath another dome – that of Florence Cathedral. This iconic structure stands as a symbol of Flippo Neri's influence on Italian culture and spirituality. His teachings resonated with countless souls, leading them towards enlightenment. Yet our journey does not end here; it takes us to Madrid where Philip V receives acclamation in 1700. Known as "The Italian Major, " his reign marked a pivotal moment in Spanish history, forever intertwining Italy and Spain. As we venture into Rome, we discover the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola at Campus Martius—a testament to Filippo Brunelleschi's enduring legacy beyond Florence’s borders. And let us not forget Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy—where Virgil guides him through Hell’s eighth canto—an epic journey across realms where even legends like Filipo are encountered along the way. Finally, within Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City lies a marble statue honoring Saint Philip Neri himself—a reminder of his profound impact on Catholicism and devotion worldwide.
