Keep an eye out for the subtly placed sculpture of a tiny dog, a whimsical detail amidst the grandeur.

Eine ganz schöne Stadt mit herrlich viwlen Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Fiorentino Stornaiuolo

Se le prime notizie certe sulla Cattedrale di San Lorenzo risalgono all’878, fu nel tredicesimo secolo che si edificò il Duomo per come lo vediamo. La totale ristrutturazione della chiesa comportò il rimaneggiamento secondo lo stile gotico, con l’imponente facciata a due torri. La cattedrale impressiona per la bellezza delle decorazioni, archi, loggiati, edicole, colonne, bifore, bassorilievi e due sculture di leoni a sorvegliare il sagrato.
