In the Summer of 2017, I got the chance to travel to Italy for a month with my family. There are many, many building I could talk about, but one building stuck out to me. The Baptistry inside the Piazza del Duomo located in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, was really breathtaking. Here in America, most of our buildings are pretty simple, lacking intricate detail. This structure has many colors, different types of stone and marble and even statues embedded in the sides. What really struck me and made me emotional was the dome ceiling. Although we couldn’t tale photos inside, I will always remember the murals on the ceiling and how people could stand in the middle and sing and it was so beautiful. It is Romanesque style and is the largest in Italy. This building is actually designed to mimic the sounds an organ makes, and people consider it a true icon.
