	Duomo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duomo is a generic Italian term for a cathedral church.
		The formal word for a church that is presently a cathedral is cattedrale; a Duomo may be either a present or a former cathedral (the latter always in a town that no longer has a bishop nor therefore a cathedral, as for example Trevi).
		The term "Duomo" is apparently derived from the conflation of the two Latin words Dominus (Lord) and Domus (house) through medieval Italian: a cathedral is "the house of God" — domus Dei, or domus Ecclesiae.

	Santa Maria del Fiore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church, or Duomo, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, noted for its distinctive dome.
		One obscure architect at the time even proposed to fill the Duomo with soil before the dome was built so that it could be built on top of the shaped dirt (it was not yet known how to build a dome with that much weight and magnitude).
		Many decorations in the church have been lost in the course of time, or have been transferred to the Museum Opera del Duomo, such as the magnificent cantorial pulpits (the singing galleries for the choristers) of Luca della Robbia and Donatello.

	Florence Art Guide - The Cathedral
		The Cathedral or Duomo of Florence as we see it today is the end result of years of work that covered over six centuries of history.
		The third and last Florentine cathedral (the cathedral is always the church that is the seat of the bishopric), it was given the name of Santa Maria del Fiore (Holy Mary of the Flower) in 1412 in clear allusion to the lily symbol of the city.
		Under Francesco Talenti, overseer from 1349-59, the Belltower was completed and a new project prepared for the Duomo, with the collaboration (1360-69) of Giovanni di Lapo Ghini: the centre nave was divided into four square bays (thus including fewer windows than in Arnolfo's design), with two rectangular lateral bays.

		Questo dipinto del Tiepolo nel Duomo di Desenzano è opera di grande interesse, poiché iconograficamente atipica, in quanto i dodici apostoli sono colti, diversamente da quanto avviene usualmente nello schema tradizionale, secondo una linea prospettica longitudinale che sembra affollare i convitati in una stretta intimità mentre avviene il dramma.
		All'interno del Duomo si trovano altre opere di pittori, tra cui Giovanni Andrea Bertanza di Padenghe, Donato Zenone, Domenico Cignaroli, mentre nella navata sinistra s'apre la cappella dedicata a Sant'Angela Merici ed eretta nel 1874.

	Prato Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
		Fino dagli inizi del Novecento era stata avanzata l’ipotesi di un museo che ospitasse una serie di opere legate al Duomo e al culto della sacra Cintola, ma l’idea riprese forza solo dopo il 1955, a conclusione dei restauri della Cattedrale e del chiostrino romanico collegato.
		Si accede al Museo dal cortiletto fra il Duomo e il Palazzo Vescovile, sul fondo del quale un’elegante incorniciatura rinascimentale in pietra serena ospita un affresco con l’Assunta, derivata dalla pala del Gherardini in S. Niccolò (1697), e attribuibile al pratese Pier Simone Vannetti (1666-1737).
		Di altissima qualità sono infine due ostensori del Duomo: uno del primo Settecento, vicino a esempi romani coevi, l’altro – eseguito nel 1729-1730 da Lorenzo Loi – con struttura solenne e raffinata, arricchita da riporti dorati.
