At last! Thirty-four minutes after I took the previous pic, I am finally within sight of the cathedral!
I found a place to buy a sandwich, and I ate it while sitting on a bench along this open space.
Walking on -- covered shopping area.
We'd heard they build Ferarris in Emilia-Romagna. I don't think I saw one, anywhere. This is the first dealership I noticed. For any sort of car, I think.......
An exceedingly frothy building. It's nontrivial, making froth out of marble!
I did not notice, until I saw this pic "on the big screen" how enormous these windows are! I'm astonished to learn that much of the wall needn't be weight-bearing.
And, look, trees. Hooray for trees!
This is one of the entrances into a very (very) fancy shopping area. It's on the other side of the Piazza del Duomo from the cathedral.
The front of the cathedral.
A closeup. I wonder what those fancy tassely things are supposed to be. There were surely a lot of them on this building.
One side of the cathedral. I was struck by all of those incredibly attenuated spires -- with statues on top!
I looked closer -- isn't that David? I bet it is................. Now I wonder who they all are......
A closeup of one of the lights.
One of the things that makes this building look sort of wedding-cakey is the pink color.... It looked much pinker to me, when I was there, than most of these pics show.....
I went in, but apparently I didn't take any pics. I was tireder than I wish I'd been.
Here's a look at the Piazza del Duomo. Note metro stop (white M in a red rectangle, left).
Headed toward the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
I couldn't tell you where this is...... On the cathedral? Not? Somewhere between (and including) the cathedral, and the Galleria.
It's interestingly flat, despite the depth....
