I wasn’t even aware that there was a conspiracy theory about it. I’ll spend a few minutes checking out the history and whatever the conspiracy is supposed to be, though.
Most of what I learned about architecture came from a undergraduate elective I took on Medieval and Renaissance Art. It was a really good course taught by a woman who’d show slides, many about the art and architecture of Italy, and by the time she finished talking you’d appreciate what she was explaining much better.
