ADD QUOTES-
Narrator: After the Dark Ages Italy lit up the world. It emerged from the devastating cloud of the Black Death and brought innovation, spectacle and the glorification of man. It was an explosion of new ideas from some of the greatest minds of all time. It produced some of the greatest works of architecture, art and engineering the world has ever known. But achieving such genius was a struggle, as builders battled unprecedented natural disaster, church dogma and each other. This was the age of architects and it created a bold new sense that nothing was impossible.
