Florence Cathedral from the Palazzo Vecchio
Pictures by Photoglob Co.
Brunelleschi's great dome and Giotto's bell tower rise over the red-tiled roofs of Florence in this hand-coloured photochrom from around 1895, with an old bird's-eye map of the city inside. Finished in 1436, the dome is still the largest brick dome ever built, and visitors can still climb to its top. For someone who loves Italy or is on their way there.
