Architecture of the Italian Renaissance

There are many different buildings and pieces of art work that are left from the renaissance era that will show reference back to the roman age. They started to make more and more building that had pillars and the triangle top roofing on them also. There was also creation of domes, to show there ways of roman architecture. For a large part of this Italian Renaissance era they were not familiar to the was of creating concrete. This lead them to make a lot of there new monuments and buildings out of brick and mason. They constructed one of the largest domes every created during this time out of brick, took many and many of years but they finally finished it. There was a strong resemblance to the way of the roman empire due to the way the buildings looked. They have staid like this for hundreds of years.

Now some of the buildings that look “roman” were just really the Italian architecture. They are very similar but some argue that there was never really a change to the way things were. Just a couple of buildings and monuments were built to bring back the architecture from the roman era.
