Between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Florentine architecture witnessed a great renewal, whose protagonists were the new civil (foreign “podestà”) and religious (mendicant and Cistercian orders) entities which propose an original conception of space and new methods for its realisation. Arnolfo di Cambio, the great interpreter of the changed urban and architectural needs of the city, introduced new formal and technical models that suddenly updated the heritage of Florentine artisans. In particular, the comparison between the consistency and the documentation of the building artefacts shows the importance of stone working tools which, often indicated in architectural projects, can reveal unknown authorships.
