Florence is definitely in my top 5 places to visit in Europe, to a large extent because of the Duomo. I love hearing about the history and the engineering behind it. Also obligatory "someone call OSP Blue!"

I would love-LOVE- to sit in your class. You’re such a good teacher.

I'm here from the recommendation of Great Art Explained. I just subscribed to your channel too. Edit: What I really like about your channel is you talk to us like adults. Too many KZfaq channels have started shifting to adding goofy animation, weird sound effect, and even inserting random clips of tv shows/movies dumbing down their videos talking to us like we are in junior high trying to keep our attention.

Great Video, you are better than you think my friend. You brought back memories of Florence and really broadened my understanding of the great accomplishment for the world that this was.

The more I learn about this building the more fascinating it becomes!

Fascinating! Thank you!

Great story, congratulations! :)

I like that you keep evolving!!

Thank you

I'm going to Florence this fall and having this context will make me value my experience even more! Thank you for such a well-made explanation of the history of this marvel :)

Wonderful, engaging and inspiring essay! Highly informative and beautifully penned. I have seen the Duomo and was nearly a religious experience for me, a nontheist. Thanks for this video. I subscribed a year ago, but I'm now tapping the bell

OK I understand
