The Duomo is one of Italy's most beautiful churches. It has exquisite detail both inside and out. The Renaissance artist: Luca Signorelli did some of his finest frescos in one of the chapels. You can read about it in "Every Day in Tuscany" by Frances Mayes. Or you can just get a book on Signorelli. I had forgotten the process of a fresco but we were fortunate to have a guest lecturer the evening before who was an art history expert and just happened to sit with me at La Paloma restaurant. I got a great education over wine and dinner.
