I've been hinting about this story for a few episodes now, so here it is. Brunelleschi's Dome is a masterpiece sitting in the city center of gorgeous Florence. The construction was the innovation of Filippo Brunelleschi. Never has this masterpiece been replicated. It is a sight, needless to say. It takes my breath away every time I see it pop into view around the corner. A smaller replica of the dome is located in the now non-existent city of Semifonte. It was once a fortified city between Florence and Siena. The city was wiped off the face of the earth during a siege in 1202. Interesting story, magical place to visit because all that is left is the small chapel an eighth of the size of Brunelleschi's dome. I love all these hidden historical stories in Italy. It's an ancient land with rich history.
