Milo Rambaldi artist philosopher
Alchemist
his is a 16th century voice that speaks
to our own modern world a man on a
technological crusade for the divine
join us as we uncover the legend of
Rambaldi born in 1444
in the sleepy town of Parma Italy Milo
Giacomo Rambaldi was abandoned at birth
on the doorstep of a Vespertine
monastery the monks soon realized that
the precocious child was unsuited to
monastic life he became an artist's
apprentice rambaldi's genius soon
emerged and came to the attention of
Cardinal Borgia Oh who made the prodigy
his chief engineer personal architect
and prophet
there was no limit to rambaldi's genius
his inventions included communication
devices advanced theories of protein
engineering and life extension elixirs
Marshall its Rachel
transmissions coming in early oh okay uh
give me a sec the idea was originally in
the pilot was I wanted to incorporate
something that was the MacGuffin I think
that Sydney was going after
the Rambaldi element was something that
allowed it to be larger than life and
and gave it a seemingly endless and
unique series of objectives and
obstacles so that that the stuff that
they were accumulating all the time with
these artifacts that were part of some
larger scheme whoever made artifacts the
designers and people that came up with
these things are they are incredible and
I wonder who's gonna get them we're here
in the Rambaldi storage obviously
there's other storage here but this is
like the the coveted Rambaldi artifacts
and the Smithsonian of Rambaldi here
behind me my favorite Rambaldi artifact
well see now I'm really gonna have to go
back in the in the trenches for this one
because I wasn't really around but I
mean I do remember the reveal on what
was it page 42 or whatever it is 45 page
47 yes I do remember the reveal on page
47 guys whose Rambaldi Milo Rambaldi was
a 15th century
visionary with an uncanny ability to
predict the future his designs have
prophesied everything from binary code
to nuclear weaponry to that Sydney
probably the most famous Rambaldi
drawing was the one that Sydney found of
herself or one that actually looked like
her so these are this is just a sketch
JJ wanted a lot of these drawings to be
like da Vinci so we just hand aged all
of this stuff to make it look the way it
does no my most favorite artifacts the
Rambaldi artifacts is the clock because
it came about really quick we had no
time to build it the clock was built
from one of his designs this symbol on
the front what does it mean the magnetic
order of 'nobody this is the first
Rambaldi artifact that we built at the
time four years ago it cost ten thousand
dollars to build this thing which was
pretty much my whole budget but again it
was Rambaldi everybody was excited about
it and and I promised them that it was
gonna look great so I had a lot of
we've had many more late nights in
tunnels downtown on Saturday in Los
Angeles because of Rambaldi I wish I
could say it on TV but since this is
gonna be edited Rambaldi
my favorite Rambaldi artifact that that
we built was the oldest fear of life
only because no one ever got to see it
so the sphere of life came about in
season 3 where they wanted this ball
that ended the season and so I created
this and with this great liquid in it
and it was really beautiful but then of
course they changed their mind after I
had it built and we never used it so it
went back on the shelf and then in
season 4 towards the end of the season
it came back and they wanted something
different than the one I had built so I
created this in this really cool box
which again opens in a unique way there
and this is it it's a beautiful piece
what started as this very simple all
that matters is that it gets the
characters running and jumping and
grabbing and fighting for stuff turning
to this really sort of deep
philosophical you know you know
underpinning for the entire series so
that's it the horizon isn't it I've
never seen Rambaldi for what he is
amalia isn't I'm sitting I think it's
purely a religious spiritual experience
and when one's passion and one soul
absorbs the beauty and the splendor of a
genius
I think JJ's rambaldi I think you know
someday we're gonna find out that JJ's
really like 500 years old and he's been
pulling the little strings all these
years that question of who was run Baldy
and and what does he mean you know the
details of who Rambaldi was and and what
he was doing though I think cool and
fascinating and ultimately answered in
the series were far less important than
what Rambaldi did to motivate our
characters and to tell our story it's
odd hiding information said work
survived the vial of liquid page 47 a
circumference of circumference what is
the circumference Susy Christ did the
rain your heart the passenger we must
acquire this object Rambaldi promised
him he would live an impossibly long
life Rambaldi Rambaldi involvement more
involved even fantasy
another Rambaldi mystery
