The old facade of the Duomo in Florence, Italy was the work of a
number of artists and was never completed. In 1864 a competition
was held for a new facade and in 1871, Emilio De Fabris was the
successful winner. The marble used for the facade came from
local Tuscany towns and was completed in 1887. On the facade of
the Florence Duomo, you can see all the intricate work put into
the design and the wonderment of the architecture which makes
the Duomo a very popular tourist attraction. Not many tourists
who visit the city of Florence in Italy, can say that they
bypassed the Duomo, and if they did, their trip would not have
been complete. I photographed this photo with the digital SLR
camera model Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, aperture of f/4.5, exposure
time of 1/200 sec. on ISO 100, as always I used a original Canon
Lens, the focus lenght for this picture was 200mm. Back to top
