Since last summer, Milan has been on my list to visit. I am extremely lucky to have been able to visit this larger Italian city. The biggest difference from Florence that I noticed was the architecture, it seemed to have more of a French feel. The Duomo also did not disappoint, with the gothic aesthetic and ornate detail. We climbed to the top, a lot shorter than I expected, and walked right out onto the roof. Seeing Duomo had me wondering about how time consuming the building ended up becoming. We first walked through the duomo museum that contained many different relics as well as figures. I didn't realize all of the planning that went into these churches when they were being built. There were many different figures made from stone, and also their models made from clay. Art is such a fascinating subject, and to this day it impresses me with its vastness. I have to admit that Milan was beautiful but I don't think anything will ever be able to compare to my Florence. On to the next adventure!
