The beautiful facade of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence Cathedral.
One of the most famous churches in the world is certainly the Florence Cathedral.
It represents, from a religious point of view, the artistic Renaissance and enchants with its beauty.
Its construction was attended by personalities such as: Arnolfo di Cambio, Giotto, Francesco Talenti, Giovanni di Lapo Ghini and Brunelleschi and it contains works by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari.
The more modern facade, in neo-Gothic style, is the work of Emilio de Fabris.
