A @jobyaviation iniciou voos testes entre Manhattan e o aeroporto JFK, um traslado que leva quase 1 hora. Em breve, veremos centenas desses nos ares das grandes cidades.


Não ironicamente, foi exatamente assim que eu descobri que o Olavo de Carvalho era um charlatão intelectual.

Só eu me arrepiei com essa narração?

Florence became the center of the Renaissance because talent found money. Botticelli needed patrons. Michelangelo needed training. Brunelleschi needed commissions. Books had to be copied. Marble had to be bought. Workshops had to be fed. A great idea still needs someone to fund the work. The Medici did not buy genius. They paid for the conditions that let genius survive long enough to matter. Their banking wealth paid for churches, convents, libraries, sculptures, paintings, and humanist learning. Some of it served faith. Some of it served Florence. Some of it served the Medici name. That mixture is the real story. Cosimo and Lorenzo were lovers of beauty. But they were also political men who knew art could make power look generous. A chapel could honor God and remind everyone who paid for it. A painting could tell a sacred story and carry a family symbol. A library could serve learning and make a banking dynasty look noble. The result was still extraordinary. Florence became a city where wealth had to prove itself in public. The Medici did not hide all their money behind walls. They turned part of it into places and works people could see, enter, study, and remember. What should wealth leave behind? Most fortunes vanish into heirs, lawsuits, markets, and private comfort. The Medici left behind art, buildings, libraries, and a city people still cross oceans to see. If this changed how you see the Renaissance, subscribe to The Culture Explorer.
