THE BEST PART OF THE TOUR WILL BE THE VIEW OF THE AMAZING DOME CONSTRUCTED BY FILIPPO BRUNELLESCHI AND PAINTED BY THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS STUDENT OF MICHELANGELO, GIORGIO VASARI.
The Dome is considered one of the most significant architectural achievements of the Renaissance. After seeing the Sistine Chapel, Giorgio Vasari was so inspired that he decided to create an enchanting tribute to his master. The internal walls of the Dome were frescoed by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari and portray a large scene of the "Final Judgement". The composition of the fresco takes into account the architectonic form of the vault in its eight sections and is considered one of the biggest artworks ever produced.
