San Rufino is venerated in Assisi as the first bishop and principal patron of the city.
The existence of a "parva basilica", a small church dating back to the eighth century, allows us to document the cult of the saint in the territory of Assisi at least since the time of the Lombard invasions, when his body was transferred within the city walls from the place of martyrdom.
According to the story of the Passio Sancti Rufini -which is reported by various codices, the oldest of which is a Passionary of the Cathedral of Perugia dating back to the eleventh century- Rufinus and his son, the priest Cesidio, would be originally from the city of Amasia. From Pontus, after having converted even the proconsul Andrew, they would have left for our peninsula to continue their work of evangelization and would have arrived in Thrasacco, a town in Marsyas, in which Cesidio remained and would later find martyrdom.
Bishop Rufinus moved instead to Assisi, where he was captured by the proconsul Aspasio, who interrogated him, had him beaten with the plumbs, had his mouth beaten and had him thrown into a fiery furnace, but the saint was freed from the fire by an angel.
The emperor himself then commanded that Aspasio throw Rufinus into the deep water with a stone around his neck: the saint died on August 11, 238 in the river Chiascio, near the village of Costano. In this place where once there was also a church dedicated to him already mentioned in an archival document of 1038.
Since 1997 the feast of San Rufino in Assisi and within the diocese has been postponed from 11 to 12 August, to avoid overlapping with the celebrations in honor of Santa Chiara.
The oldest depictions of San Rufino show the patron saint of Assisi with mantle, miter and pastoral, to emphasize his role as the first bishop of the city. Starting from the period of the Counter-Reformation, however, the iconographic attributes of the saint become clearer and more immediate and Rufinus is represented with the millstone of his martyrdom.
The Museum of the Cathedral of San Rufino was inaugurated in 1941 but the first project for its establishment dates back to sixteen years earlier, when Canon Sigismondo Spagnoli proposed to the Chapter to arrange the archive and to establish an art collection in which to bring together some works and sacred furnishings from the Cathedral church and from the oratories of the city brotherhoods.
This first museum – strongly desired also by the bishop of the time, Monsignor Giuseppe Placido Nicolini – occupied some rooms adjacent to the church and, as well as the adjoining Historical Archive, for a long time was accessible to the public and scholars only on request.
It was not until 1995 that the collection was finally opened to the public constantly in the months from April to October, while it was only in 2003 that the possibility of accessing the museum became annual.
After the demanding recovery and restoration of the basement of the Palazzo dei Canonici and the cloister of the eleventh century, the Diocesan Museum reopened to visitors on April 15, 2006, with a new layout and a new location.
The current museum is not a simple extension of the old one: it was built not only to enhance the material preserved in the previous structure, but also to accommodate new works from donations, host the heritage at risk scattered throughout the territory of the Diocese and set up temporary exhibitions.
For the climb to the bell tower today it is accessed from a door in Piazza San Rufino (near the chapel in memory of the birthplace of Santa Chiara) or from a small door in Via del Turrione. After the ticket office, going up to the first level, you can see one of the so-called "attics of San Rufino" above the vaults built on a project by Alessi in the sixteenth century, with the left rose window of the church seen from the inside, while on the second level is located the clock mechanism with a spear of the tower.

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).

The Duomo di Napoli is the cathedral of Naples, also called 'Cattedrale di San Gennaro'. The Duomo is the largest church in the city of Naples.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is Italy's oldest active shopping gallery and a major landmark of Milan in Italy. Housed within a four-story double arcade in the centre of town, the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.

It's a Gothic cathedral with a huge exterior that gives you a sense of splendor and beauty.
This cathedral is decorated with 2,000 adult statues and 135 small spires, including a golden statue of the Virgin Mary at the top of the cathedral. Milan is located in the north of the Italian peninsula and is more influenced by the Gothic style that developed north of the Alps than the Baroque or Renaissance style that is common in Rome. That's why Milan's Duomo was built in this Gothic style.
Construction of the Milan Duomo began in 1386, but it was not completed until 1951 after nearly 600 years of const/ruction due to many twists and turns in the construction process. It's great to see it from the front, but if you go back, you can feel another splendor and beauty. You can go up to the top through stairs or elevators, and unlike other churches, it has a unique structure with a rectangular roof.

Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore in English Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower), is the cathedral of Florence, Italy. It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
