Description
Seen from any cityview of Florence, Italy and 2nd in size only to the Cathedral & Bruneleschi's Dome.
The dome in this picture is from the Medici Chapel (little brother to Brunelleschi's dome), the Basilica of San Lorenzo (with the unfinished facad) in front. Michelangelo was working on the facad for the Basilica when the Medici's ran out of money, he had to scrap his plans while he was still in the quarry in Carrera, and was not happy about it. It's remained unfinished to this day.
