This magnificent cathedral was constructed in the 13th century while Siena was competing with Florence for dominance over Tuscany. Though Florence's duomo is somewhat larger, it can't compare to the beauty of this one which is packed inside and out with paintings, sculptures and mosaics by dozens of the greatest artists of that period, including Luigi Mussini, Donatello, Buoninsegna, Giovanni, Vecchietta, Bartolo and Peruzzi among others. The cathedral floor comprises 56 inlaid marble mosaic panels depicting old testament allegories and virtues… the floor alone is worth a prolonged visit here. I consider this church to be the most beautiful in Europe.

La foto está realizada desde el campanario de Giotto de 84 m de altura y 414 peldaños.
Il Campanile del Duomo di Pietrasanta è stato ricavato tra la fine del XV e l'inizio del XVI secolo è alto circa 36 metri. All'ingresso un capolavoro di scala a forma elicoidale, unico nel suo genere di probabile idea michelangiolesca.
Una straordinaria scala elicoidale laterizia autoportante pensata come fosse una gigantesca scultura inversa scavata per via di 'levare' all'interno di un monolite di muratura, trattato come se fosse marmo.

The Bell Tower of the Duomo of Pietrasanta was built between the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century is about 36 meters high. At the entrance a spiral-shaped masterpiece, unique in its kind of probable Michelangelesque idea.
An extraordinary self-supporting brick helical staircase conceived as if it were a gigantic inverse sculpture dug by way of 'levare' inside a masonry monolith, treated as if it were marble.

I am revisiting some of the photos of places that first started me on my photography journey and trying to bring the beauty I was attempting to capture to light with hopefully much better editing techniques. This shot is of Milan’s grand dame the Duomo almost 600 years in the making but I think it was worth the wait there are over 6000 statues inside and out of the structure with its most visible being the golden Mary.
I took this on Oct 14, 2007 with my D70s and Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Lens at 48mm, 1/400s, f10 ISO 200 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,Topaz, and DXO Nik
