Remembering a Visit to Milan’s Duomo

A couple of years ago, friends and I toured Italy together. Our trip ended in Milan and I was reminded of the spectacular duomo (cathedral) there yesterday. I thought the view of it, especially some of the ones taken on the roof may leave you wordless.

    I am so glad that you had the fun experience of duomo. Milan is spectacular. Your pictures are fantastic!!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

    That was the view I was dreaming of when I arrived for a whirlwind 24 hours in Milan. When I turned the corner into the plaza where the duomo sits, that was … scaffolding! The entire front of the cathedral was covered. Since scaffolding had followed me around Europe, so it shouldn’t have surprised me. But it was disappointing. As I was laying on the roof, looking at that spectacular view, it all became okay.

    I then thought, “Wait! La Scala’s around the corner! Let’s go see that!”

    I turned that corner … and there was scaffolding. I just laughed.

      Oh my goodness! I’ve been there too…. glad you were creative enough to find a way to truly enjoy it, even if the turn around the next corner tried to grab hold of you! LOL

    Amazing architecture! I hope to travel to Italy someday. I went to Germany and France several years ago and was astounded by the churches and castles there.

      Everywhere has its own unique architecture to be in awe of…. This was particularly splendid!
