Donatello (1455 - 1460)

Leon Battista Alberti (1470 - 1476)
Began the year before he passed and completed upon his plans, some say that it took 328 years to complete and there were changes made to some of the originality of Alberti. This entryway of the Basilica shows the amount of detail that there is in creating a massive structure.
