Enea Bossi was an Italian extremely influential in the aviation world. Bossi was only the second licensed pilot in Italy, and he was influenced by the Wright brothers, which led him to model and design his own plane close to the Wright brother’s model. Bossi’s plane was even one of the first Italian-designed airplane to be built. In the year of 1909 Bossi had invented the first landing gear braking system, along with building the first Italian navy seaplane. During World War I, Bossi served as a flight instructor and a bomber pilot for the Italians. In the 20s he was a huge influence in creating devices dealing with refueling systems and later worked on modern aerial refueling systems. Later in Bossi’s life he had helped in the completion of building the Higgins EB-1 Helicopter down in New Orleans. One of Bossi’s most influential developments during his lifetime was for furthering the contra-rotating dual-propellers and tail rotors for helicopters. Enea Bossi made some extreme contributions in the aerial developments in general, and for 

Marconi, who further developed the radio, helped in the formation of wireless communication. With the invention of wireless communication, it made communication easier among people. With the radio it led to being able to talk across the country much easier than before, which was extremely useful in the times of World War II in the United States. Radio invention also led to the invention of the television, which became a modern household item in years to come. With a television, talk shows became an extremely popular form of entertainment for people with televisions. The radio then became a lesser commodity with the invention of televisions, and the radio was mostly for news and music. With all these wireless inventions it led to telephones and eventually wireless telephones. All these fantastic technological inventions that we use on a regular basis today all started from the invention of what we seem as a simple invention of the radio. Because of the radio we know have wireless cell phones, televisions, and even laptops and computers. If the radio was not invented at the time it was we would not have these everyday devices, which is hard to believe living in a world without all these major technological advancements.

Sienna and Florence have two different types of engineering when it comes to the architecture of their buildings. With Renaissance engineering in Florence there are the high painted ceilings and rounded arches. With medieval engineering they have the pointed arches all over their churches and towers. The idea for the pointed arches then were for them point up to God, which is where the paradise was that everyone wanted to get to. The medieval engineering also included wooden ceilings versus the intricately painted ceilings within the Renaissance buildings. The way the buildings were built adds to the differences between the two times because the medieval buildings are not all the same and organized. It is easy to see that whenever they expanded they just expanded up on the buildings. The Renaissance buildings are more organized and look fairly similar to each other. The facades for both the medieval and Renaissance style are gorgeous and made of marble. In the Renaissance times there were many changes within the engineering world. For one thing architecture wise they moved from the pointed arches to the rounded arches, and then they also stopped building with wooden at their main material. This was the time when coal production and other types of metal were in production and lead to the use of these raw materials. With the expansion of coal production, it really caused a major improvement in the formation of mining and transportation.
