Answer: during the Middle Ages people have forgotten how to vote such a wide area the Florentine’s began construction on a magnificent cathedral making room in the plan for a massive dome. However, there was one issue. No one knew how to build a dome that will be 180 feet above the ground atop the existing walls and would be nearly 150 feet wide.
