A jealous architect, to the point of destroying every writing or sketch, using secret codes, building extraordinary machines without revealing their mechanisms even to clients. In the name of beauty. 600 years after the foundation of the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, the director Giancarlo Cauteruccio – based on the dramaturgy of Giancarlo Di Giovine – brings his great creator to the stage in “Filippo Brunelleschi. In the divine proportion “ produced by Teatro Studio Krypton, which Rai Cultura proposes on Sunday 25 April at 5.05 pm on Rai5.

A history of art and not only entrusted to Brunelleschi himself, who has the face and voice of Roberto Visconti and who says of himself: «I am an artist, I belong only to art and beauty. Here are my children: facades, columns, arcades, arches, empty and full, light and dark. Geometries of light. It is mathematics that drives this renaissance. It is science that merges with art, which takes us to the center of space and time ». Thus emerge the body, the thought, the solitude and the strong and impenetrable character of the one who made perspective and symmetry the tools of beauty no longer dictated by chance, shadow and faith, but by reason, calculation. , math, light.
