Up close, the Duomo’s façade is a kaleidoscope of green, rose, and ivory marble—every panel edged in gold-like detail, saints perched in niches, and a vivid fresco crowning the arched doorway. My friend and I were spellbound on our Italian cruise stop in Florence, marveling at how centuries of craftsmanship still feel electric in the Tuscan sunlight.
