| Unidentified Italian studio Facciata del Duomo [Firenze album] 1880s (or later) Cyanotype Collection of Michael G. Jacob LL/49821 Where are all the crowds? You will never see the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore like this again, the icon of the city of Florence: Brunelleschi’s dome, the façade and Giotto’s tower, while the ‘intruding’ darker building on the right leading us into the centre of the action is the baptistery of the cathedral.
