CONVERSATIONS FROM STORYEXPE RESIDENTS:

ENTER THE OFFICIAL RENAISSANCE COMMUNITY

(only for Storyexpe Residents)

One of the keys to Leonardo da Vinci's success was his curiosity. If he were alive today, would he be able to invent "The next big thing?" What would his curiosity drive him to improve today?

Patrons of the arts: the Medici funded Leonardo da Vinci. Who would fund him today?

Without wealthy patrons like the Medici family, many Renaissance masterpieces might never have been created.
Art, science, and innovation need support, today like yesterday. Who are today’s "patrons of progress", the modern Medici? Maybe Venture Capitalists? Are they driven by a dedication for science and a genuine faith in progress, or just by profit?

Renaissance - Art and Literature

Conversations about the Renaissance are on Storyexpe among the most intriguing of all, beginning with those about the great masters of art of that era: how was it possible that in such a relatively short period of time so many great artists like Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael succeeded each other (and for the most part lived at the same time)?

What insights can we draw today, with all information instantly available from everywhere, to create a stimulating environment in which art is first and foremost an authentic expression of a personality?
Moreover, passionate discussions revolve around eternal masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa or the Sistine Chapel. While some immediately leave anyone who visits them in person in awe, others seem to owe their fame in particular to being the objects of caricatures.

Not to mention the impact of Machiavelli's key works to this day, which are discussed on Storyexpe by various content creators.

 

An era of exploration.

At the beginning of the Renaissance, geographic maps were still very incomplete, but they got completed with very important pieces during the Renaissance. From the discovery of America, to the voyages of Magellan and Vasco da Gama.

 

Dante / Michelangelo

"Michelangelo, while painting the Sistine Chapel, please reserve the most beautiful place in Paradise to Beatrice".

"Be assured, Dante, I will. And I'll make sure that only you can find her".

Lucrezia Borgia
Caterina Sforza

Lorenzo de' Medici / Niccolò Machiavelli

"Niccolò, after 500 years, your work is still inspiring new generations of (real as well as aspiring) leaders, wishing to gain and retain power".

"I wish they had the same greatness in mind that characterized our era".

"Maybe we need new Masters like Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raffaello, able to define the most sublime excellence of human mind. What do you think about?"

"I have some hope that on Storyexpe we could find someone... sooner or later".
