The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Basilica
of Saint Mary of the Flower) is the main church
of Florence. The Duomo, as it is ordinarily
called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to
the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed
structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by
Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior is faced with
marble panels in various shades of green and pink
bordered by white and has an elaborate
19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De
Fabris

The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches,
and until development of new structural materials
in the modern era, the dome was the largest in
the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever
constructed.

The Baptistery
16
The Florence Baptistery or Battistero di San
Giovanni (Baptistry of St. John) is a religious
building which has the status of a minor
basilica. The Baptistry is renowned for its
three sets of artistically important bronze doors
with relief sculptures. The south doors were done
by Andrea Pisano and the north and east doors by
Lorenzo Ghiberti. The east pair of doors were
dubbed by Michelangelo "the Gates of
Paradise". The Italian poet Dante Alighieri and
many other notable Renaissance figures, including
members of the Medici family, were baptized in
this baptistry. In fact, until the end of the
nineteenth century, all Catholic Florentines were
baptized here

Biblioteca Palagio di Parte Guelfa. It is a
library located in the tiny piazza with the same
name near the Mercato Nuovo in a former medieval
Florentine church. This one was called Chiesa di
Santa Maria Sopra Porta since it was built close
to the south gate of the oldest (Roman) city
wall, Por Santa Maria.
25
Chiesa di Santa Maria Sopra Porta Since its
deconsecration in 1785 it has been used for
different purposes, like housing fire fighters.
Since 1987 it is a library, and if you have a
minute (and if you can find it!) do pop in to
marvel for free at these treasures.

Florentines reinvented money in the form of the
gold florin. This currency was the engine that
drove Europe out of the "Dark Ages" a term
invented by Petrarch, a Florentine whose family
had been exiled to Arezzo. They financed the
development of industry all over Europe, from
Britain to Bruges, to Lyon, to Hungary. They
financed the English kings during the Hundred
Years War. They financed the papacy, including
the construction of the papal palace in Avignon
and the reconstruction of St. Peters and the
Vatican when the papacy returned to Rome from the
"Babylonian captivity".
