I first looked at Natalie's blog, and she included a lot of information about the history of where and how the Italian Renaissance began. There is no direct time period to distinguish the art and architecture, but she pointed out different architectural and furniture design pieces that were constructed and gave me a clearer understanding on what is considered Italian Renaissance design.
Next I browsed through Paige's blog, and she focused on entirely furniture design which is a major topic from the Italian Renaissance considering it was the first time in history that residential design became eminent for upper and middle classes alike. Her findings on the modern examples of each piece were great because they all highlighted the main detail points of each chair and table.
Also! I found this great video on this guy climbing up the 463 steps to the tip of the Duomo in Florence! He gives you a close look at the architecture and detail that went into the construction and design with the interior of the church and the frescos of the dome. I will vouch for the guy, the views at the very tip are breathtaking. Enjoy!
