Duomo:Cathedral of Pisa
Its Construction began in 1064 by the architect Busketo, and set the model for the distinctive Pisan Romanesque style of architecture. The mosaics of the interior, as well as the pointed arches, show a strong Byzantine influence.The façade, of grey marble and white stone set with discs of coloured marble, was built by a master named Rainaldo, as indicated by an inscription above the middle door: Rainaldus prudens operator.The massive bronze main doors were made in the workshops of Giambologna, replacing the original doors destroyed in a fire in 1595. The original central door was in bronze and made around 1180 by Bonanno Pisano, while the other two were probably in wood. However worshippers never used the façade doors to enter, instead entering by way of the Porta di San Ranieri (St. Ranieri's Door), in front of the Leaning Tower, made in around 1180 by Bonanno Pisano.
The Piazza dei Miracoli (Italian: Square of Miracles), formally known as Piazza del Duomo (Italian: Cathedral Square), is a wide walled area located in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, recognized as an important center of European medieval art and one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. Considered a sacred area by its owner, the Catholic Church, the square is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistry, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery). Partly paved and partly grassed, the Piazza dei Miracoli is also the site of the Ospedale Nuovo di Santo Spirito (New Hospital of the Holy Spirit), which houses the Sinopias Museum (Italian: Museo delle Sinopie), and the Cathedral Museum (Italian: Museo dell'Opera del Duomo).The name Piazza dei Miracoli was created by the Italian writer and poet Gabriele d'Annunzio who, in his novel Forse che sì forse che no (1910), described the square as the prato dei Miracoli or the meadow of miracles. The square is sometimes called the Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles). In 1987 the whole square was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

***** DONATELLO e MICHELOZZO - PULPITO del DUOMO di PRATO (Toscana)
Il pulpito del Duomo di Prato è un'opera di Donatello e Michelozzo, databile al 1428-1438. Composto in marmo, bronzo e tessere di mosaico, è collocato sul fianco sud-est della cattedrale di Prato (i rilievi originali sono oggi nel Museo dell'Opera del Duomo) e misura in altezza 210 cm senza il tetto; ciascuna formella misura invece 73,5x79.
Dal pulpito si faceva e si fa tuttora l'ostensione pubblica dell'importante reliquia della Sacra Cintola della Madonna, che ancora oggi si mostra per Natale, Pasqua, il 1º maggio, il 15 agosto e, nelle forme più solenni, l'8 settembre, festa della Natività di Maria.
Il Pulpito, destinato esclusivamente alle ostensioni della Sacra Cintola, fu studiato in posizione angolare a far da cerniera tra il fianco romanico e la facciata tardo gotica della chiesa, e tra le due piazze nelle quali si raccoglievano i pellegrini. Lo spigolo della chiesa costituisce il basamento (che era previsto scanalato) del pulpito; vi poggia il capitello bronzeo, ricco di spunti decorativi, con ricordi classici, e concluso da un originalissimo angioletto che si affaccia, al centro, e sostiene le prime cornici marmoree soprastanti, a fasce concentriche progressivamente sporgenti, riccamente ornate. Le sormontano quindici mensole a voluta che sorreggono il piano del pulpito, accentuandone con la loro posizione radiale l'effetto rotatorio, centrifugo.
Il parapetto in marmo bianco suggerisce le forme di un tempietto circolare sorretto da pilastrini binati che lo suddividono in sette riquadri (73,5x79 cm ciascuno), in ciascuno dei quali scoppia incontenibile una vivace danza di gruppi di angeli (ispirati ai putti-genietti dei sepolcri romani), la cui gioia per l'ostensione della Cintola si manifesta nella libertà dei gesti dal ritmo incalzante, resi pittoricamente grazie allo stiacciato, che consente di suggerire complessi scorci prospettici, e al vibrare del mosaico del fondo, i cui riflessi di luce accentuavano l'effetto di movimento. La scelta del tema dei putti danzanti fu insolita. Alcuni la mettono in relazione ai Salmi 148-150, dove si invita a lodare Dio con cori e danze di bambini, altri la ricollegano ai cantori e angeli danzanti che fin dal XIII secolo erano associati ai temi dell'Assunzione o dell'Incoronazione della Vergine.
Il Pulpito è concluso dallo slanciato, elegantissimo baldacchino a ombrello, con controsoffitto ligneo a riquadrature radiali (in origine dipinto in rosso, azzurro e oro).
