Subject Information	ñThe story of Brunelleschi's activity in the field of civil architecture was not particularly fortunate and is difficult to ascertain in all its aspects, but it did play a historically decisive role. In his reconstruction of the Palagio di Parte Guelfa, Brunelleschi proposed a new idiom. The reference to Orsanmichele and an anticipation of the formal themes of the Medici and Pitti palaces are clearly evident in the solution of large arched windows overlooking the city and the round oculi, as well as the continuity of the pietra forte facing without dividing members. The classical molding around the openings and in the stringcourse were without precedent in Florentine architecture until Palazzo Medici.î Source: www.arca.net/db/brunell/civil.htm
