Milano di Notte. The lion watches over the crowd from Piazza Duomo, its gaze frozen in time for almost 117 years. In the background, Il Duomo dominates the city square as it has since its construction began around 1386.
Lugar oficial del Arsobispo de Milán actualmente el Cardenal Dionigi Tettamanzi.
Duomo di Milano.

My final picture from Florence, Italy is a view of the Palazzo Vecchio ("Old Palace" - now the Town Hall) and the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore from Piazelle Michelangelo just after sunset, on a slightly breezy (as you can see from the motion of the foreground tree leaves) and clear evening. If you plan on visiting (or returning) to Florence, I recommend making the trek to Piazelle Michelangelo to get a great view of the city, day or night.

This is exactly why I love my new wide-angle lens! It enables you to play with composition and perspective more then a regular lens, and get close to your subject.
Tourists were getting in the most awkward positions to photograph the façade of 'Il Duomo' plus the campanile next to it, but not me!
Again amazing stripes, darks & lights like the 'Duomo di Siena'
"[In 1417] the wardens of works of Santa Maria del Fiore called a congress of local architects and engineers to discuss how to raise the cupola...Filippo's advice was that they should construct a frieze thirty feet high, with a large round window in each of its sides, since this would take the weight off the supports of the tribunes." I-144
"There were some who suggested that the best method would be to fill it with a mixture of earth and coins so that when it was raised those who wanted could help themselves to the earth, and in that way they would quickly remove it all without expense. Filippo alone said it could be raised without a great deal of woodwork, without piers or earth." I-145
"The wardens said that his ideas were as mad as he was. Filippo took offence at this and said: 'What is necessary is that the cupola should be turned with the curve of a pointed arch and made double, with one vault inside and the other outside so that a man can walk upright between them..I can already envisage the complete vaulting and I know there is no way of doing it other than as I'm explaining.'" I-145
"As to how beautiful the edifice is, it is its own witness. From ground level to the lantern the height is 308 feet, the body of the lantern is 72 feet, the copper ball is eight feet, the cross sixteen feet, and the whole is 404 feet; and it can confidently be asserted that the ancients never built to such a height nor risked challenging the sky itself."
