Notable European 20 year olds of the 1770s: some similar patterns...
1771: 25 year old Gustav III becomes King of Sweden.
1774: 19 year old Louis XVI becomes King of France and Navarre.
1778: 20 year old Francesco inherits his father's business.
1792: 46 year old Gustav III dies soon after an assassination attempt.
1793: 38 year old Louis XVI executed.
1810: 51 year old Francesco dies penny-less in Paris.
It was about 9:30 at night when I told my brother that I recently found out that the convent where he was born goes back to the year 1074.
I can think of two types of speculation: speculation regarding what did happen, and speculation regarding what didn't happen. Speculation regarding what did happen is searching for authenticity via veracity, while speculation regarding what didn't happen is basically wondering.
...is it a "first modern" thing? Was Francesco, perhaps, just a half generation shy of making it to America himself.

3D play
I played today, for a couple of hours, with the 3D rotate area command and the results were very good. I am now indeed inspired to experiment/play with much more intent, thinking that I may, with further practice, actually master the process and in turn begin to create cutting-edge designs.
Once I have created the forms, I will begin applying them to my other models, especially the Philadelphia model. I am also thinking that I could incorporate the free forms into a whole new design motif/style, i.e., an oddball mixture of topology and wacko and traditional.
While playing with form creation and then creating h-lines, I started to wonder if the odd overlay and tangle of grids might make some sort of interesting plan formation. The possibilities for me to use this new data creation are numerous. Eventually, I think it would be fantastic to create a whole city of these forms.
