Giotto and the flood of Florence in 1333: a study in catastrophism, guild organisation, and art technology

Trama

Giotto di Bondone was the key figure in the transition from medieval to modern in European painting. It is well known that he, on 12 April 1334, was appointed architect of the Cathedral of Florence, and that he made a design for the campanile. But it has never been explained why he was offered that task, and at that particular point of time.
