Thank you for posting these videos. in my estimation this is the high point of the renaissance but also of your many years in educating us about the wonderful sights and history of Florence, Tuscany and Italy.
A few major mistakes. The facade of the Duomo is modern, 19th century. I'll have to say it is a pretty good one though. And the competition for the baptistery doors won by Ghiberti was not for the "Gates of Paradise" on the east side of the baptistery, but for the north doors which he completed much earlier in an different style, similar to Pisano's on the south door.
Wow for a replica, the Gate of paradise at the Baptistry look great. But in comparison to original, these are laughable! Like a work of a good handyman vs total genius in Ghiberti!
Florence is the most beautiful place I've been to. It's utterly exquisite. Stepping into the past.
Same. It was even more beautiful than the Vatican.
In person this is the most beautiful piece of architecture I've seen.
Thank you Rick for many hours of viewing pleasure on PBS ☼

Its unreal what people can build !
Magnificent
I've seen these in person. Some of the finest relief work in the world.
I was blown out.
Only Italians can achieve these kinds of feats. No other nation can match their imagination and creativity!!!
I'm visiting Florence this summer. This video was amazingly well explained, I look forward to visiting soon!
I've seen the cathedral and the gates and god it's beautiful!
oh my gosh, it looks so cool!
Loved Florence. View from San Michaelangelo is magnificent
I climb this all the time in assassins creed 2 😆😆
LOL same
This reminds me of ac2
Never got a chance to go into the baptistery when I was there. I guess there was a lot more than what met the eye.
Really, world's beautiful doors

Florence is amazing. no thumbs down!
So good information
Great!

I was there with my family. When we got up there we almost fainted since it's a very tall structure!
Assassin creed 2 baby
The doors were replicated by a Japanese man and 2 copies were made. One is on babtistry and the other is in Kansas City Fields museum.
Orașul Florența este un reper al turismului european.
