The Duomo, Florence
Published Wednesday, June 29th 2022Oh the history! It really isn't an exaggeration to say that the re-launch of western civilization happened in Florence and if the walls of the Duomo could talk! Mamma mia!
If your bucket list includes seeing the Duomo make sure to read "Brunelleschi's Dome" by Ross King (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DUVKOUW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1). When you climb the narrow, winding stairs to the top of the Duomo you will gain a deep appreciation for the work that went into creating this beautiful edifice.
And, if you want to really deepen your understanding of where you are and all that happened there read "The House of the Medici" by Christoper Herbert. https://www.amazon.com/House-Medici-Its-Rise-Fall-ebook/dp/B0089LOLA2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=CWB03RUM5IYE&keywords=medici&qid=1656515034&s=digital-text&sprefix=medici%2Cdigital-text%2C148&sr=1-1
