The Other Side of the cardI don't know if you are allowed to climb the spire anymore.
Of the Duomo, which began construction in 1386, Mark Twain, in his novel Innocents Abroad, wrote:
What a wonder it is! So grand, so solemn, so vast! And yet so delicate , so airy, so graceful! A very world of solid weight, and yet it seems ...a delusion of frostwork that might vanish with a breath!...

Very nice, I have something like this in sepia, an old album; Il Duomo is truly impressive, but.. it's a whole new atmosphere in Milan these days.
