The dome is the symbol of Florence, of Renaissance culture, and of all Western humanism. The dome was built to a plan by Filippo Brunelleschi, and is still the largest masonry vault in the world without reinforcements in wood, since none could have sustained a cupola of this size.The dome is covered in terracotta tiles, marked by eight ribs in white marble: these converge towards the seraglio. The ring at the top, in turn supporting the large lantern.
