The Façade by Franco Gizdulich
At the end of the Corridoio dell’Opera, you will enter a room called “Saletta introduttiva,” which will be in front of you. If you look right, you will find a reconstruction of the medieval façade of the cathedral, made by Franco Gizdulich. In 1587, Grand Duke Francesco I de’ Medici decided to dismantle it and replace it with the one you see before you.
