Brunelleschi- The Mastermind.

During the construction of the dome of the Florentine Cathedral, Brunelleschi was a risk taker. He took many risks before the construction of the dome, first he went to Rome to immerse himself, while he was gone, somebody could have taken the job. Brunelleschi advised the consuls and the magistrates of Florence to convoke all the master builders from different places, then he left for Rome again. 10 years later he found that there was nobody that could complete the job of the biggest construction of the time. So he secretly started planning a design, knowing that there was nobody left to do the job. 3 years later, Brunnelleschi got the permission to be held in charge of the construction of the dome. All due to his risk-taking and trusting his gut no matter what he does.
