Piazza del Duomo sorge nel cuore del centro storico di Firenze. È dominata dalla mole della cattedrale e degli edifici correlati come il Campanile di Giotto e il Battistero di San Giovanni, anche se l'ipotetica linea fra Via de' Martelli e Via Calzaiuoli divide la piazza in due sezioni, con il Battistero nell'omonima Piazza San Giovanni.

Florence, Italy - Piazza del Duomo HD (2015)
The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (English, Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower) is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, 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 of the basilica is faced with polychrome 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 cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. The three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting the region of Tuscany. 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 cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is currently Giuseppe Betori.

Piazza del Duomo, Florence, Italy
A slightly shaky (limitations of smart phone video) short tour of the remarkable Duomo, otherwise known as Santa Maria dei Fiori (Saint Mary of the Flowers). Built in the lare 13th century, the lavish exterior we see here, was actually installed in the 19th century, based on early evidence. Nevertheless, this short movie encapsulates the enchanting Italian atmosphere of a sunny 21st century November lunchtime.
How an Amateur Built the World's Biggest Dome
In 1418, Filippo Brunelleschi was tasked with building the largest dome ever seen at the time. He had no formal architecture training. Yet experts still don't fully understand the brilliant methods he used in contructing the dome, which tops the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral in Florence, Italy.
