Italy travel: Milan Duomo Stained Glass Stories
|
|
Our Perillo guide explained the stories portrayed by the stained glass of Milan's Duomo. In the days before literacy was common, these picture stories were vitally important. From the Perillo website: "The Milan Duomo is the third largest church in the world and can seat 40,000 worshippers. Its style is a mixture of Gothic and Baroque elements as its construction took several centuries to complete. Inside and out, people stare in amazement at the beauty of the large number of spires, statues, gargoyles, stained glass, and turrets. The marble Tomb of Giacomo de Medici sits in the southern part of the church while high above looms a golden Madonna."
