Climbing Brunelleschi's Dome at the Duomo in Florence, Italy

[adesilvaable]

From an art history professor hunting for "eye witness" accounts I can use in class: my gratitude to you for your well narrated, well informed, and well photographed video!

This is a wonderful video that anyone who can't make the climb should see. i made the climb twice when I was young and would love to do it again but I don't think I can. It was a struggle then and now it could be fatal (heart problems you know) but I really would love to do it!

Nice video mate!

What a great video. You can see the incline of the brick work on the outer shield take on more and more steep angle as you go up at 5:06, 5:30, and 6:10. You also got some great shots of the herringbone brick pattern at 5:31 and 6:04. Thanks.

"Oh no, I climbed the wrong dome" Ha Ha Ha

I like the book, too. But I wish it had more graphics in the book. Sometimes I find it hard to visualize what's described in the book.

Any other recommendation on books on Italy? With focus on RomeandFlorence

Excellent job!! I've had the good fortune of having climbed the dome on two occasions and your video did a great job of refreshing my memory!

Well done! !

Great video. I went to Florence in June of '09 and climbing Il Duomo was one of the first things we did. This brings back great memories.

Thank you for your posting. I am taking three kids and my husband to Florence and want to climb the dome. I'm an architect and always like to find unusual spaces. I was worried it might be scary but it just seems tiring. I like your commentary too!

Wonderful!! Thanks for posting...I climbed the Duomo in March of 2010...your video and commentary are a perfect compliment to my experience.

Superbly done! I appreciate your spare commentary, careful choice of words and predominant use of visuals. This leaves plenty of room for each viewer to experience your video in his or her own way, far better than being deluged with non-stop commentary posited in an 'expert' manner. Thank you.

Excellent video and commentary. I hope to do this next year.

I'm doing a school project on the cathedral, and this was very helpful. Thanks a bunch! :)

Great video! I'm going to Italy this spring and we might have the opportunity to climb into the dome as well. Now I know what to expect! Thanks for such great photos and videography! :)

I was in Florence myself in August, but I didn't have the chance to climb the dome. Maybe next year.
