It is a really amazing site to walk the streets of Florence and catch a glimpse of the Duomo. It unexpectedly peaks through the narrow streets, perched above the roof tops. When reading Brunelleschi’s Dome and looking at this picture I wonder how the workers felt walking to work every morning and seeing this massive building appear slowly, day by day in front of them? I can only conclude that they were just as shocked and amazed to see it as I was, even more so. I find this vantage point of the Duomo most interesting and enjoyable; it shows the shear enormity of the church and there are considerably less people around than when in Piazza di Porta San Giovanni.
