Description
View of the west facade of the Santa Maria del Fiore. "This facade was erected between 1857-87 and designed by Emilio de Fabris and Augustino Conti," by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University. "...a series of three competitions were held to modify Giotto's original design, keeping with the main lines of the structure. The challenge for the competition was to create a facade which brought together two periods in architecture: the Gothic style, which had faded out, and the Renaissance style, which was more recent. In 1871, Fabris' design won, and he immediately went to work embellishing the cathedral with red, green, and white marble," from archInForm website.
