# Studying in Italy # Introduction Florence, Italy has 40 museums and galleries, more than 60 palaces and many churches, and has a large collection of excellent works of art and precious cultural relics, so it is also called "Athens of the West". It is one of the richest places to preserve Renaissance art in the world. Let's share the Florence art treasure house introduced by Italian students.

1, Galleriadell'Accademia: The Florence Academy of Fine Arts collects works by Florentine artists such as Michelangelo's David, four unfinished Slaves and the second Virgin Mary. There is a good bookstore and poster spot across the street, so you can stop by.

2. FlorenceCathedral: The Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers (also translated as Flower Cathedral and Florence Cathedral) is a landmark building in Florence. Its appearance is made of pink, green and ivory marble, which shows the elegant and noble temperament of women, so it is called "SantaMariadelFiore". Together with the Pantheon of the Roman Empire and St. Peter's Cathedral in the heyday of the Renaissance, it is called the three domes of ancient Europe. The giant mural "The Last Judgment" on the dome of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Hundred Flowers is the painstaking work of vasari, a great artist in the 6th century. Starting from the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Florence, European architecture officially entered the Renaissance from the Gothic era.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Hundred Flowers was built by ArnorfodiCambio in 1296. The huge central dome is the first Renaissance dome built by the famous architect brunelleschi, which took 14 years to complete. It is a model of dome architecture in Renaissance. When Michelangelo planned to design the dome of St. Peter's Cathedral, he said, "I can build a dome bigger than that of the Emerald Cathedral, but I can't compare with its beauty." The church was built in 1248. In order to show its position, Florence wanted to build the dome of the church into the dome of the world at that time. Although the completion date of the church has been delayed for nearly 20 years, it is all worthwhile. This cathedral, which took 150 years before and after and was finally built through the efforts of several generations, has become synonymous with Florence.

If you want to climb the roof of the cathedral, you can enter from the left corridor of the small church on the right and climb 463 steps. The facade of the church has been rebuilt twice, and there are many great works of art in Museodell'OperadelDuomo behind the church.

There are exquisite reliefs at the bottom, and there are stairs to reach the top.

Ten patterns describe Adam and Eve and the theme of the Old Testament, which Michelangelo called the "Gate of Heaven".
