It was magnificent and absolutely gorgeous! These are few of the photos that I took outside. At the time we went, we weren't permitted to take photos inside other than the entryway. I don't know the policy has changed since then. I was able to get one photo of the ceiling as we entered. This picture does not do it justice. It was very dark inside so this was the best I could do with the not so wonderful camera I had at the time.

| Ceiling inside the Duomo Cathedral One of the few pictures I could take once inside the Cathedral. The photo isn't very good because the lighting was so dark. |

| The Square ~ Milan, Italy This area is where people would walk and mingle and it surrounded the Cathedral. A funny story...while we were sitting at the base of one of the areas where they had statues, a young lady, not to far from us was sitting, chatting with a friend, when a pigeon landed on the top of her head and was walking around on it. HA The young lady started screaming "get it off", "get it off" all the while people just kept right on walking, laughing. You would have thought the pigeon owned the top of her head. As you can see from this photo, pigeons were everywhere! |

| Another view of the enclosed atrium The inside of this atrium looked like you were outside instead of inside. With the curtained windows above and the railing around them I wasn't sure if these were offices or actual apartments...Stunning! |
Dear Kris,
ReplyDeletealas I've never been in Itally. But I have seen many report about this country. Italy is really a beautiful country and is worth to visit. I can imagine how wonderful your time in Milan was.
It's pity that taking picture inside the Duomo Chatedral weren't permitted for some reason. But the other picture you have took are gorgeous.
The story with the pigeon is really funny. Indeed, these pigeon have lost meanwhile the shyness and are accustomed to people and thus they can make some trouble sometimes.
Wishing you a very nice week.
Warm regards,
Lucia
O yes I love Italy and its wonderful buildings!
