Friday. Dash to the
Duomo. Our second class period was held in arguably one of the most
beautiful places in Italy, if not the world, the Duomo. The primary church of
Florence, the Duomo is the guiding north star to all that is good in the city.
It is my point of reference as I run from piazza to piazza. It is the home to
mass when I wish to practice my faith. It is surrounded by many, many
gelaterias. It is something unique in and off itself, as I have never seen such
a structure in my life. Duomo is
actually a nickname for cathedral, derived from domus (house) and dei
(God). This house of God is donated to Saint Mary of the Flower, which is very
suiting for Florence, the flowering city.
