Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesThe Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower, the central cathedral of Florence, was constructed over eight centuries. Generations of Florentine artists and architects dedicated their lives to the project and its preservation. Not only did the artist and architects design the cathedral, but they also designed the machinery necessary for its construction. Restoration workshops still follow the traditional techniques of the master sculptors who adorned the cathedral's interior and façade.
