Have you ever wondered why Florence's skyline looks so unique?

It’s not just the beauty of the Cathedral — it’s the result of an unwritten law that ensures Brunelleschi's dome remains the highest point in the city...

A short thread 🧵

When the Cathedral was completed in the 15th century, an unwritten prohibition was enforced: no new building could exceed the height of Brunelleschi's dome.

It may seem unbelievable, but this law has protected the city’s stunning skyline for centuries.

Why does this matter?

The dome of Santa Maria del Fiore dominates the city’s architecture, and this rule has preserved its majestic view, unobstructed by modern skyscrapers or overbearing buildings.

It ensures that Florence's skyline stays timeless and harmonious.

Thread of the most beautiful fountains in Rome

1. The majestic Trevi Fountain

2. Quattro Fiumi Fountain

Designed in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the "Fountain of the Four Rivers" features sculptures symbolizing the river gods of the Danube (Europe), Rio de la Plata (America), Nile (Africa), and Ganges (Asia).

3. Fontana della Barcaccia

Designed by Pietro Bernini and completed in 1629, possibly with help from his son Gian Lorenzo, the fountain's soothing sound was said to reach English poet John Keats' deathbed.

It inspired his epitaph: "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
