Arte dei Maestri di Pietra e Legname

The Arte dei Maestri di Pietra e Legname was one of the Guilds of Florence that represented the Master stonemasons, woodcarvers, and sculptors. It was founded before 1236,[1] and it came to absorb multiple building crafts in the Florence area.[2] It was one of the five Arti Mediani ("middle trades")

It was listed as Muratori e Scarpellini (builders and stonemasons) in a 1236 list of the guilds, and listed fifth in precedence among the minor guilds although it was raised to fourth in 1280, when the tanners and curriers were relegated.

gollark: Seems more like a publicity stunt than anything useful.
gollark: As far as I'm aware, it has not been remotely rigorously tested and has only gone through two months of human trials.
gollark: … maybe? Even if they have a working, safe and effective vaccine, which seems somewhat dubious given that there are still lots of trials going on here, it'll still take a while for production and distribution.
gollark: I feel like assuming it'll be resolved soon is overoptimistic.
