Duomo, Florence

A Preview

"Look at the long, calm arcade running along this side of the square — a row of rounded arches on slender columns, so simple and so exactly right that you might not register you're looking at a landmark at all. This is the Ospedale degli Innocenti, the Hospital of the Innocents, and architects call it the first true Renaissance building. It is also, once again, Brunelleschi."
