Santa Reparata Firenze
???? Video subtitles available in ENG and ROM!
“Santa Reparata is the former cathedral of Florence, Italy. Its name refers to Saint Reparata, an early virgin martyr who is the co-patron saint of Florence. The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore was constructed over it.
Ever since the 3rd century, there was an area in the north of Florence which was dedicated to Christianity and up to the Middle Ages represented the most important religious center of the city. From the 6th century onwards, a building complex called 'the sacred axis' was constructed in the east-west direction (from the Piazza dell'Olio to the area of the apsis of the Duomo), which was traditionally considered the cult area in Late Antiquity, protected by existing Roman walls. The place included the Bishop's palace, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, a hospital, a parsonage, a graveyard, and three churches: Salvatore al Vescovo, San Michele Visdomini, and Santa Reparata. The main point within the sacred axis was Santa Reparata, a sacral building of paleo-Christian origin which was probably the first construction of this building complex. The bones of Saint Zenobius (born about 328) were transferred to Santa Reparata at an unidentified time (according to most scientists it happened in the 9th century). At this time Santa Reparata became the new seat of the bishop, which had been in Basilica of San Lorenzo before that time.
The oldest legends are related to one single event, the invasion of the Ostrogoths under Radagaisus:
• Santa Reparata was constructed to celebrate the victory over Radagaisus on the day of S. Reparata, which happened during the reign of Emperor Flavius Augustus Honorius (395 - 423).
• A variant of the previous legend says that the church existed before the battle and was dedicated to San Salvatore. Only the name of the building was changed when Radagaisus arrived.
• The third legend refers to the transferral of the remains of St. Zanobus from San Lorenzo to Santa Reparata and dates this event to 430. Thus the building must have existed at the time.”

Restoration of Santa Reparata church floor, Florence Cathedral
An extraordinary testament to ancient Florentia has been restored to its former glory thanks to a painstaking restoration project. The multicoloured mosaic floor of the Church of Santa Reparata in Florence Cathedral dates to the early Christian era and displays a magnificent peacock, a Christian symbol of the resurrection, and an epigraph with the names of 14 donors of the mosaic. The restoration took 18 months to complete and was conducted by restorers of Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, the institution that promotes and maintains the heritage of Florence Cathedral.

Abbiamo chiesto a Bruno Santi di parlarci della chiesa di Santa Reparata e delle ragioni per cui fu sostituta dall'attuale cattedrale. Vi si accede dalla navata destra della Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore e una volta giù ci si perde un piccolo dedalo di percorsi tra resti, sepolcri, reperti e tracce evidenti dell'architettura originaria.

Cathedral Of Santa Maria Del Fiore Inside
???? Video subtitles available in ENG and ROM!
“Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore in English Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower, is the cathedral of Florence, Italy (Italian: Duomo di Firenze). It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic center of Florence and are a major tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence.
Santa Maria del Fiore was built on the site of Florence's second cathedral dedicated to Saint Reparata; the first was the Basilica di San Lorenzo di Firenze whose first building was consecrated as a church in 393 by St. Ambrose of Milan. The ancient structure, founded in the early 5th century and having undergone many repairs, was crumbling with age, according to the 14th-century Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, and was no longer large enough to serve the growing population of the city. Other major Tuscan cities had undertaken ambitious reconstructions of their cathedrals during the Late Medieval period, such as Pisa and particularly Siena where the enormous proposed extensions were never completed.”

Florence Cathedral, Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower, Florence, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris. The cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. The three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting the region of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed. The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is currently Giuseppe Betori. Santa Maria del Fiore was built on the site of an earlier cathedral dedicated to Saint Reparata. The ancient building, founded in the early 5th century and having undergone many repairs, was crumbling with age, as attested in the 14th century Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, and was no longer large enough to serve the growing population of the city. Other major Tuscan cities had undertaken ambitious reconstructions of their cathedrals during the Late Medieval period, as seen at Pisa and particularly Siena where the enormous proposed extensions were never completed. The new church was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio and approved by city council in 1294. Arnolfo di Cambio was also architect of the church of Santa Croce and the Palazzo Vecchio. He designed three wide naves ending under the octagonal dome, with the middle nave covering the area of Santa Reparata. The first stone was laid on September 9, 1296, by Cardinal Valeriana, the first papal legate ever sent to Florence. The building of this vast project was to last 140 years, the collective efforts of several generations; Arnolfo's plan for the eastern end, although maintained in concept, was greatly expanded in size. After Arnolfo died in 1302, work on the cathedral slowed for the following thirty years. When the relics of Saint Zenobius were discovered in 1330 in Santa Reparata, the project obtained new impetus. In 1331, the Arte della Lana, the guild of wool merchants, took over exclusive patronage for the construction of the cathedral and in 1334 appointed Giotto to oversee the work. Assisted by Andrea Pisano, Giotto continued di Cambio's design. His major accomplishment was the building of the campanile. When Giotto died in 1337, Andrea Pisano continued the building until work was again halted due to the Black Death in 1348. In 1349, work resumed on the cathedral under a series of architects, commencing with Francesco Talenti, who finished the campanile and enlarged the overall project to include the apse and the side chapels. In 1359 Talenti was succeeded by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini (1360--1369) who divided the center nave in four square bays. Other architects were Alberto Arnoldi, Giovanni d'Ambrogio, Neri di Fioravante and Andrea Orcagna. By 1375, the old church Santa Reparata was pulled down. The nave was finished by 1380, and by 1418, only the dome remained incomplete. On 18 August 1418, the Arte della Lana announced a structural design competition for erecting Neri's dome. The two main competitors were two master goldsmiths, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi, the latter of whom was supported by Cosimo de Medici. Ghiberti had been the winner of a competition for a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery in 1401 and lifelong competition between the two remained acute. Brunelleschi won and received the commission. Ghiberti, appointed coadjutator, was drawing a salary equal to Brunelleschi's and, though neither was awarded the announced prize of 200 florins, would potentially earn equal credit, while spending most of his time on other projects. When Brunelleschi became ill, or feigned illness, the project was briefly in the hands of Ghiberti. But Ghiberti soon had to admit that the whole project was beyond him. In 1423 Brunelleschi was back in charge and took over sole responsibility. Work started on the dome in 1420 and was completed in 1436. The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Eugene IV on March 25, 1436, (the first day of the year according to the Florentine calendar). It was the first 'octagonal' dome in history to be built without a temporary wooden supporting frame: the Roman Pantheon, a circular dome, was built in 117--128 AD with support structures. It was one of the most impressive projects of the Renaissance.

La cathédrale Sainte Marie de la fleur - Florence - Italie
N'oubliez pas d'aller visiter le reste de la ville de Florence ici :
La cathédrale Santa Maria del Fiore (« Sainte Marie de la Fleur », baptisée ainsi en rapport au Lys de Florence ou le Duomo) est la cathédrale/dôme du XIIIe siècle de l'archidiocèse de Florence à Florence en Toscane (Italie). Située piazza del Duomo dans le centre historique de Florence, elle est accolée au campanile de Giotto et face à la porte du Paradis du baptistère Saint-Jean et à la Loggia del Bigallo. Avec son dôme de l'architecte Filippo Brunelleschi de 1436 (le plus grand du monde en maçonnerie avec 45,5 mètres de diamètre maximum de la coupole intérieure) qui marque le début de l'architecture de la Renaissance, elle est classée au patrimoine mondial de UNESCO depuis 1982.
Santa Maria del Fiore (Sainte Marie de la Fleur) est la cinquième église d'Europe par sa taille, après la basilique Saint-Pierre de Rome, la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres, la cathédrale de Séville et le dôme de Milan1. Elle mesure 153 mètres de long et la base de la coupole mesure 41,98 mètres de large, avec un plan basilical :
comportant une nef à trois vaisseaux, les collatéraux étant moins hauts que le vaisseau central ;
avec un chevet comportant trois chapelles rayonnantes ;
soutenant l'immense dôme/coupole de Filippo Brunelleschi.
La coupole de la cathédrale est la plus grande coupole en appareil maçonné jamais construite. On peut voir, à l'intérieur, une des plus grandes fresques narratives : 3 600 m2 de fresques, exécutées par Giorgio Vasari et Federigo Zuccaro.
La construction, commencée sur les anciennes fondations de l'église Santa Reparata, en 1296 par Arnolfo di Cambio, a été continuée par Giotto di Bondone de 1334 jusqu'à sa mort en 1337. Giotto n'entamera que la construction du campanile de Giotto et ce sont Francesco Talenti et Giovanni di Lapo Ghini qui continueront la construction en 1357.
En 1412, elle est rebaptisée Santa Maria del Fiore. L'église est consacrée le 25 mars 1436, à la fin des travaux de la coupole de Brunelleschi, par le Pape Eugène IV.
À ce jour, elle est la cathédrale/dôme de l'archidiocèse de Florence.

20 Things to do in Florence, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (FIRENZE)
Florence: when it comes to Renaissance art, there’s probably no better city in the world to soak it all in!
Our time here was spent viewing works by Italian masters both in museums and public spaces, marvelling at the architecture - in particular Florence Cathedral and its massive dome, going in search of the best lookout points, and eating plenty of pizza & gelato sharing the best things to do in Florence on your visit.
We paid 15 Euros for a ticket that gave us access to 5 attractions associated with Florence Cathedral. Giotto’s Campanile, the bell tower stands 84.7 metres with 414 steps.
We made our way over to our next attraction: the Baptistry. Known as both the Florence Baptistry and the Baptistry of Saint John.
We continued to Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which is a museum dedicated to conserving artworks relating to Florence Cathedral.
It was time to climb the dome of Florence Cathedral. We ate our gelato at Grom and it was delicious.
The Uffizi Gallery is considered one of the best museums in the world focusing on the Italian Renaissance. Most of the art collection you see today was gifted to the city of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress.
From Uffizi Gallery you get some pretty cool views of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River from a higher vantage point.
We visited in Florence was Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square right in the heart of the city. A landmark in this square is Palazzo Vecchio or the Town Hall. And to the right of this building, you have the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Speaking of David, we did find him, over at Galleria dell’Accademia. Michelangelo’s David depicts the Biblical David carved out of a single block of marble.
Ponte Vecchia during the 16th century that one of the Medici ordered for the butcher shops to be replaced with jewellers.
When it comes to sunset in Florence, there are no better views than from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the historic center on the other side of the Arno River.
This indoor market is foodie central with the second floor of the market is filled with eateries. Central Market is a great place to pick up ingredients to bring back to your kitchen.
We hope you enjoyed this Florence travel guide and that it gave you ideas of things to do.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.
