L' architettura, le sculture e le pitture del Duomo documento l'incontro tra la cultura Transalpina e le scuole italiane.
Discovered almost by chance thanks to my work tours, the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta overlooks the historic center of Como, and we can say that it is the sign of the strongest period in which Como was at the center of the connection between Northern Europe and Italy. .
The architecture, sculptures and paintings of the Duomo document the encounter between the Transalpine culture and the Italian schools
Si tratta di un'architettura molto complessa che racchiude in un edificio unico le varie fasi stilistiche: Gotico, Rinascimento e Barocco ma alla fine sono state armonizzate grazie alla sapienza degli architetti e probabilmente alla perizia delle maestranze che vi operarono.
The Cathedral was built in 1396 and was built in various phases that lasted three and a half centuries, because the dome was finally finished in 1744.
It is a very complex architecture that encloses the various stylistic phases in a single building: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque but in the end they were harmonized thanks to the wisdom of the architects and probably to the expertise of the workers who worked there.
As for the Duomo of Milan, also for that of Como in reality the name of the architect who created the factory is not known because in the end many architects took turns at the helm of this factory so let's say the author of this work was not a person unique and everyone gave their own contribution.In fact, it must be remembered that this was born in the Visconti era and ended under the Habsburg dominion.
