Duomo
A vision in pink Candoglia marble, Milan's cathedral
aptly reflects the city's creative brio and ambition.
Begun by Gian Galeazzo Visconti in 1387, its design
was originally considered unfeasible. Canals had to
be dug to transport the vast quantities of marble to
the city centre and new technologies were invented to
cater for the never-before-attempted scale. Now its
pearly-white facade rises like the filigree of a fairytale
tiara, and wows the crowds with its extravagant de-
tails.
