The Cathedral of Siena , whose mass rises in the homonymous square, is one of the most famous examples of Italian Romanesque-Gothic cathedral . According to tradition, the current one replaces a first church dedicated to Mary, built around the century. IX, built on the site of a temple offered to Minerva. Also from news without precise documentation, we learn that the building was consecrated in 1179, in the presence of the Sienese pope Alexander III Bandinelli, after the peace with Barbarossa . de Works Sancte Marie . It is probably a first mention of Nicola Pisano, one of the most innovative artists of the thirteenth century, to whom we owe the famous pulpit, now located in the left transept of the Cathedral. His son Giovanni, magister of the Opera in the years between 1284 and 1297, will be the key figure in the construction of the lower part of the facade. Giovanni Pisano also owns the sculptures of prophets, sibyls and philosophers that once decorated the facade and are now housed in the Museo dell'Opera (replaced by copies during the 19th and 20th centuries).
In late 1262 the acquisition of a domus is documented , destined to house the headquarters of the Opera and the workshop of the masters, where the marbles used in the construction of the Cathedral are worked. During 1263 lead was purchased for the cover of the dome and copper for the apple that crowned it. The dome is therefore finished on this date (the lantern is a total remake in the style of 1667).
