Filippo Brunelleschi was a genius, and I think every person in
Florence would agree. He is
one of the most famous artists in Italy. Brunelleschi was the mastermind behind the most
beautiful piece of architecture in Florence, The Duomo. Which, may also be known as Santa Maria del Fiore. The beautiful
dome is located in Piazza del Duomo. The project began in 1296 in the Gothic style and in 1436 it was engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The outside of the dome has marble panels in different shades of green and pink
with white border. Its most extreme asset is the size of the dome and the
massive shell of concrete on the top. Since I’ve moved to Florence I have made
it a priority to walk to the Duomo at least once a day. Nonetheless, no matter
how many times a walk past The Duomo I will never fully accept its architecture
because I will never get over is beauty.
