In 1334 the city of Florence honored Giotto with the title of Magnus Magister (Great Master) and appointed him city architect and superintendent of public works. In this capacity he designed the famous Campanile (bell tower). He died in 1337, before the work was finished. http://gallery.euroweb.hu/bio/g/giotto/biograph.html Jan 26 08, 6:46 PM
