MILANO - IL DUOMO






Milan's Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in Italy and the third largest in Europe, was begun in
1386/7 and provides the most complete demonstration of the decorative focus of the High Gothic style.

Based on an equilateral triangle, its design was the subject of heated debate between local architects and consultants from France and Germany.

The result is an uneasy compromise of Northern and Southern traditions, heavily burdened with Late Gothic ornamentation.
