A detail from the façade of the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (aka the Duomo), in Florence. The church was begun in 1296 and consecrated in 1436—it takes a few years to create a masterpiece like this. [To see more churches from around the world, go here.] |
As any other former Tokyonian might say in thanks at having their day made by being able to cast one’s eye upon this image of spiritual, historical, and artistic beauty, “Duomo arigatō.”
