The Cattedrale di Santa Maria dei Fiore is built on the site of what was the city’s second cathedral, dedicated to Saint Reparata. The City Council of Florence then decided to commission Arnolfo di Cambio, architect of the Palazzo Vecchio and Basilica di Santa Croce, to create a new church for the city in 1294. It wasn’t until 1436 that it was finally completed ⚜️

Hope this Monday is treating you kindly 🤍 Sharing a new post on the blog today, link in bio!

Happy Sunday!

Are you team Giuliano or team Lorenzo?

If you look at my feed, I think my obsession with ceilings and domes in particular is beginning to become apparent. Can you blame me, though?

The younger of the two Medici Chapels, the Chapel of the Princes was first begun by Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Its design was first created by Matteo Nigetti based on sketches by Giovanni de’ Medici, Cosimo’s natural son. This design was later altered by Bernardo Buontalenti (Nigetti’s teacher and responsible for work at the Uffizi and the Boboli Gardens).

Hello!

My name is Jessica and I live in Madrid, Spain. I’m obsessed with dogs (this is important) and have a tendency to take way too many pictures when I travel (which doesn’t happen often enough). I like cold weather, morning light, and empty museums.
