  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.

Famously referred to by Mark Twain as a “poem in marble”, Milan’s Duomo cathedral is not universally admired for its abundant mixture of architectural styles, frequently categorized as Gothic-Lombard.
The Duomo was commissioned in 1386 but not finished until the early 1800s, and is thus a strange mixture of architectural styles — Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical.
The dimensions of the third largest cathedral in the world are awe-inspiring: it is 108m high and 158m long and is spread over an area of almost 12,000 square meters (or one and a half football fields), housing 3,400 statues and boasting 135 spires.
