Being artistically inclined, however, Filippo, at the age of fifteen, was apprenticed at the ''[[Guilds of Florence|Arte della Seta]]'', the wool merchants' [[guild]], the wealthiest and most prestigious guild in the city, which also included jewellers and metal craftsmen. In December 1398, he became a master goldsmith and a sculptor working with cast bronze.<ref name=":2" />{{sfn|Walker|2003|p=4}}
