PIAZZA DEL DUOMO
FLORENCE, ITALY
Image Number 145
The Duomo of Florence was completed in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The Cathedral is encircled by a cobbled Piazza, crowded by day. At midnight, in the rain it is very different. This image was captured in early January 2013.
