Your guide will explain everything whilst you're touring the inside and the outside. Brunelleschi's innovative approach involved vaulting the dome space without any scaffolding as he used a double shell with a space in between.Inside, the Duomo is no less impressive, with elaborate marble floors mirroring its exterior and beautiful frescoes lining the dome, made by Vasari, namely the Last Judgement.This tour also includes entry tickets to the Museo della Misericordia, which displays some works of art from the Renaissance.
