Florence cathedral renaissance
The Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, or Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian: Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore) is the episcopal see (in Italian duomo) of the archdiocese of Florence, Italy. It is one of the masterpieces of Gothic art and of the first Italian Renaissance.
Symbol of the wealth and power of the Tuscan capital during the 13th and 14th centuries, the Florentine cathedral is one of the largest buildings in Christianity. Its name refers to the river, symbol of Florence, or to the ancient name of the town called Fiorenza. But, on the other hand, a document of the XV century affirms that the “flower” refers to Christ.
After the resolution of the contest, both architects were in charge of carrying out the work. There was no consensus. Ghiberti made a mockery of these plans and took them as impossible. Brunelleschi, deeply offended, resembled an illness and left for Rome, leaving the project in Ghiberti’s hands. But Ghiberti soon realized that he was not capable of carrying out the work on his own. In 1423 Brunelleschi returned and took full responsibility for its construction.

The Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, or Cathedral of Santa Maria della Fiore (in Italian, Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore), is the episcopal see (in Italian duomo) of the archdiocese of Florence, Italy. It is one of the masterpieces of Gothic art and the early Italian Renaissance.
Symbol of the wealth and power of the Tuscan capital during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Florentine cathedral is one of the largest buildings in Christendom. Its name refers to the lily, symbol of Florence, or to the ancient name of the town called Fiorenza. But, on the other hand, a 15th century document states that the “flower” refers to Christ.
Despite the resolution of the competition, both architects were commissioned to carry out the work. There was no consensus. Ghiberti scoffed at these plans and called them impossible. Brunelleschi, deeply offended, feigned illness and left for Rome, leaving the project in Ghiberti’s hands. But Ghiberti soon realized that he was not capable of carrying out the work on his own. In 1423 Brunelleschi returned, assuming full responsibility for its construction.

Construction began in 1296, under the direction of Arnolfo di Cambio. After his death, the powerful guild of the Art of Wool, which had the responsibility of controlling the works, hired first Giotto, who was mainly concerned with the tower, and then Francesco Talenti, who modified part of Arnolfo di Cambio’s original project. In 1380 the first three arcades and the roof of the three naves were completed.
Forty-four original polychrome stained glass windows are still preserved in the basilica, made under the supervision of Lorenzo Ghiberti by artists such as Donatello (his is the “Coronation of the Virgin” on the drum”, which can be seen from the nave), Andrea del Castagno and Paolo Uccello. At the back of the cathedral there are four apses, each with five chapels; the sacristies of the Canons and of the Masses are separate. At the back of the apse is the altar dedicated to St. Zanobi, the first bishop of the city.
