“During the day I paint them, during the night I make them” this is the answer the artist gave about a criticims made to his children, considered uglies, compared to the beautiful figures he painted. A strong personality, Giotto, that has totaly revolutionized the painting during the gothic period. He worked in many parts of Italy, but it’s right in Florence that he has given some of his masterpieces, like the famous bell tower of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Giotto, che dovrebbe non soltanto essere paragonato agli antichi per lo splendore della sua fama, ma dovrebbe essere posto al di sopra di essi per il suo talento, riportò la pittura all’antica dignità e al vecchio prestigio”
