Piazza di San Giovanni a Firenze con il Battistero e il Duomo.
Quando si arriva in questa piazza di Firenze, arrivando dalla stazione ferroviaria, ci si devono stropicciare gli occhi tanto è grande la bellezza artistica che ci si apre davanti.
In primo piano il Battistero di San Giovanni (da cui il nome alla piazza) e dietro il Duomo della città, Santa Maria del Fiore ed il campanile di Giotto che fa capolino da dietro il soffitto del battistero.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the Florence Cathedral, is the main church of Florence, the symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed in the fifteenth century, it was the largest church in the world, while today it is considered the third in Europe after St. Peter's in Rome and the Milan Cathedral. It stands on the foundations of the ancient cathedral of Florence, the church of Santa Reparata, in a part of the city that has hosted places of worship since Roman times.

Giotto's Bell Tower of Florence Cathedral

La torre di Giotto del duomo di Firenze

Giotto's bell tower of the Florence Cathedral.
You can't go to Florence and not stop to see the cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore) with its famous bell tower.
The colors of the entire work are a kaleidoscope of marble colors: white above all and then green and red.

The Giotto influence is especially evident in the pictorial nature of the refined covering in white marble (from the quarries of Campiglia Marittima and Pietrasanta), green (serpentine from Prato) and red (Monsummano Terme, Siena, Stazzema), and above all in the grandiose figurative cycle that adorns the base of the bell tower.

There probably wouldn't even be any need to write what is portrayed in the photo but anyway, for those who really don't know, it is the wonderful bell tower of the Florence cathedral, built by Giotto.
Obviously in HDR.

Torre di Giotto

Photo taken with Canon 600D.

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.
