La catedral de Florencia és una de les més conegudes i estudiades del món, tant per la seva arquitectúra única com per la seva evolució artística i com aquesta va influir arreu del món. Des dels inicis gotics fins a la finalització que va obrir la porta al Renaixement en plè Quattrocento florentí. Per aquí passaren Arnolfo di Cambio, Giotto, Andrea Pisano i sobretot Filippo Brunelleschi. O també una pila de Medici i algun que altre Pazzi.<br />
<br />
Es curiós com els marbre i les pedres escollides per la façana segueixen els colors de la bandera italiana, blanc, vermell i verd.<br />

=====================================<br />
<br />
Florence Cathedral is one of the most renowned and studied in the world, owing both to its unique architecture and to its artistic evolution—and the global influence that evolution exerted. Its history spans from its Gothic beginnings to a completion that ushered in the Renaissance during the height of the Florentine Quattrocento. Key figures who worked on it include Arnolfo di Cambio, Giotto, Andrea Pisano, and, above all, Filippo Brunelleschi—not to mention the influence of a host of Medici and the occasional Pazzi.<br />
<br />
Oddly enough, the stones used to cover the outside walls are the same of the actual flag of Italy, white red and green.<br />

<p>In the middle, there's of course the mighty Triglav, showing us its high W face. We know its neighbours, but in comparison with the giant they are somehow small. On the left one behind another are crowded: Prisojnik, Razor and Rjavina, on the right more distinct is the two-headed Kanjavec. On the very left behind there's the Martuljek group with Škrlatica, in front there's the ridge of Mojstrovke. Even more in front on the left there's the plexus of crests which will probably be more interesting to more demanding mountaineers: Vevnica, V Koncu špica and Kotova špica, and towards us already the crest of Mangart stretches. To the right of Triglav there's beyond the valley of Koritnica the bold Jalovec. But just from this side its appearance loses some of its sharpness. Similar is on the very right Pelc na Klonicami. Behind are the mountains above Trenta valley, the South Bohinj Range and the hills as far as to Snežnik and Učka.</p>
