This morning sunrise in Piazza Duomo!
It's one week I'm setting the wake-up alarm one hour before sunrise to check weather conditions for photography and eventually go out taking photos in the city. I'm usually chasing for colors during twilights and these days in Milan there are awesome conditions for good landscape photos, but planning is not everything and you need some luck at the right moment to let the sun go through humidity and clouds... Friday there was an awesome sunrise, but (of course) I couldn't go out... so I tried again yesterday and today but with no luck.
I then decided to use this puddle to create some reflections (there was some magenta dust in that puddle, don't know why!) and created this "dark" version of the Duomo. I hope you like it.
I wasn't sure about the crop, so you can find on Instagram the square version!

The Duomo in Florence, Italy, featuring the Brunelleschi Dome and Giotto's Campanile bell tower. View from my balcony on a winter's day.
Florence Cathedral (The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower / Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore) commenced in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio. It was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi.
The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence.

ITALIANO
Il duomo di Amalfi, noto anche col nome di cattedrale di Sant'Andrea, è il principale luogo di culto cattolico di Amalfi, sede vescovile dell'Arcidiocesi di Amalfi-Cava de' Tirreni. Dedicato a sant'Andrea apostolo, si trova in piazza Duomo, nel centro della città.
ENGLISH
The first church, now the Diocesan Museum of Amalfi, was built in the 9th century on the ruins of a previous temple.[2] A second church was built to the south in 10th century, and this is now the cathedral. By the 12th century the two churches formed a single 6 aisle Romanesque church, which was reduced to 5 in the 13th century to allow the construction of the Paradise Cloister,[3] in the Arab-Norman style.
The remains of St. Andrew were reportedly brought to Amalfi from Constantinople in 1206 during the Fourth Crusade[4] by Cardinal Peter of Capua. In 1208, the crypt was completed and the relics were turned over to the church.[2] It said that later on manna issued from the saint's bones.[5]
The bell tower was constructed between the 12th and 13th centuries in front of the first church, topped by an elaborate crown decorated with marble and majolica in the Arab-Norman style, also seen in other churches in southern Italy in this period. The chapels inside are variously Gothic and Renaissance, with the nave decorated in the Baroque style in the 18th century.
In 1861, part of the facade collapsed, damaging the atrium. The whole front of the church was then rebuilt to a design by architect Errico Alvino in a richly decorated manner drawing on Italian Gothic and especially Arab-Norman styles, similar to but more ornate that the original, completed in 1891.

The view of the Duomo from the top of Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence, Italy. The Duomo, or Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower," is the main church of Florence, Italy. Thanks for viewing and have a great week ahead.
Orvieto is noted for its Gothic cathedral. The church is striped in white travertine and greenish-black basalt in narrow bands; its design has often been attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio, but the prevailing modern opinion is that its master mason was an obscure monk named Fra' Bevignate from Perugia; construction began in 1290. The facade is particularly striking and includes some remarkable sculpture by Lorenzo Maitani (14th century).
Duomo - Vetrate.
Il duomo di Milano ospita un ciclo di 55 vetrate monumentali, realizzate tra la fine del Trecento e gli anni ottanta del Novecento.
La costruzione di vetrate nel cantiere del duomo milanese cominciò a soli vent'anni dalla sua fondazione, all'inizio del Quattrocento, con i grandi finestroni dell'abside, che venivano man mano completati.
Di queste prime vetrate non restano che scarsissimi frammenti.
Duomo - Stained Glass.
The Milan Cathedral hosts a cycle of 55 monumental stained glass windows, created between the end of the 14th century and the 1980s.
The construction of stained glass windows in the Milan Cathedral construction site began just twenty years after its foundation, at the beginning of the 15th century, with the large windows of the apse, which were gradually completed.
Of these first stained glass windows, only a few fragments remain.

The Duomo di Firenze, the Cathedral of Florence, was built between 1296 and 1436. Its official name is The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. This Gothic style cathedral is one of the largest in the world. Its imposing dome, attributed to the most important architect of the early Renaissance Filippo Brunelleschi, still dominates the city. This, together with two other buildings, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence.
The Duomo is huge - unfortunately this is as wide as I can get with my lens:-)

Il Duomo di Siena si trova nell’omonima piazza situata al di sopra di Piazza del Campo, è un bellissimo complesso in stile gotico che ospita una gran quantità di tesori firmati Donatello, Pisano e Michelangelo ma anche affreschi del celebre Pinturicchio. La Cattedrale è di una bellezza impressionante tanto che basta ammirarne la parte esterna per rimanere profondamente colpiti.
Costruita tra 1214 e il 1263, presenta una struttura a croce latina, una cupola non molto sporgente con il campanile accanto. Sia l’esterno che l’interno sono decorati in blocchi di marmo bianco a cui sono alternate più sottili strisce nere verdastre, sono questi i colori rappresentativi di Siena.
The Cathedral of Siena is located in the homonymous square located above Piazza del Campo, it is a beautiful Gothic-style complex that houses a large number of treasures by Donatello, Pisano and Michelangelo but also frescoes by the famous Pinturicchio. The Cathedral is of such an impressive beauty that it is enough to admire the outside to be deeply impressed.
Built between 1214 and 1263, it has a Latin cross structure, a not very protruding dome with the bell tower next to it. Both the exterior and the interior are decorated in blocks of white marble alternating with thinner greenish black stripes, these are the representative colors of Siena.
Duomo di Siena, located in Siena, Tuscany, Italy. Construction started in 1196 with the cathedral being completed in 1348. A very ornate cathedral with beautiful marble work and intricate stone carvings.
This was the most appealing attraction to me in Milan. I had looked at photos and maps, but nothing could prepare me for the size, beauty and incredible detail of this cathedral.
