Obviously in HDR.

Giotto's Bell Tower is the bell tower of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Cathedral of Florence, and is located in Piazza del Duomo. Its foundations were dug around 1298 at the beginning of the construction of the new cathedral, when the master builder was Arnolfo di Cambio. In 1334 Giotto di Bondone took over the role of master builder. Vasari, in the Life of Giotto, reports his arrival "in the year 1334 on the 9th of July, at the bell tower of Santa Maria del Fiore", when he immediately began to work on the construction of the first floor of the bell tower, ignoring - according to Giovanni Villani - the construction of the basilica.
