Francesco Landini was a famous medieval composer. He was born in 1335 in Fiesole, Italy, near Florence, Italy. Francesco’s father was Jacopo the Painter, and Francesco was blinded as a child by smallpox. Landini won a laurel wreath for winning a poetical competition as a child. He played the flute, rebec, and the portative organ, which was a small organ-like instrument popular for secular music. Francesco composed mostly ballatas, which were songs with one voice accompanied by one or more instruments. He composed only secular music, and has only 140 surviving works.

By the time Cortes arrived, she had learned the Mayan dialects used in the Yucatan while still understanding Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs and most Non-Mayan Indians.
One cannot be mistaken that a cannoli is loaded with sugar, butter, and eggs like many other desserts and pastries. With all of these fatty substances, which may sound like a turnoff, this treat is very rich. Being rich is acceptable because if a cannoli is rich it resists your urge to overindulge in the treat and end up regretting the decision later on. For example, everyone gets tired of drinking water because it becomes very redundant, but because cannoli’s are rich you will only want to eat them every so often lowering your chances of getting bored with the treat.

Why is Giovanni Bellini such an important and influential artist during the 15th century? Giovanni Bellini, the father of the Venetian Renaissance, was a skilled artist who mastered the technique of using oil paints. He was born into a family of artists, and worked closely with his brother. He founded a High Renaissance painting school, and was able to influence his pupils with his beautiful works of religious paintings and portraits.
