Telling a story of faith and art that spans centuries, the cathedral is truly a must-see among the many sights to visit in the city of Milan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction for the Duomo began in 1386. It became a central location for lively discussions of creative ideas, as architects, spiritual leaders and trade workers shared ideas and inspirations for the cathedral’s design. In the end, hundreds of designers contributed their visions, the result being an entirely unique piece of architecture that merges influences from across the centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ng-binding\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 19th century there were many architects, each with their own unique vision, who submitted design proposals for the cathedral’s latest renovations. For this \u003cem\u003eDuomo di Milano\u003c\/em\u003e release, we looked to a series of architectural drawings proposed by Paolo Cesa Bianchi (1840–1920) for the decoration of the interior vaults. In 1881, Cesa Bianchi was named the engineer-architect of the Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano, a position he held until 1912. This submission by Cesa Bianchi centres around the use of arabesques, which create a sense of a faux relief arborescence over a golden background. The upward facing arrangement symbolizes a closeness to heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proposals of architects like Cesa Bianchi are now carefully preserved in the Archive of \u003cem\u003ethe Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo\u003c\/em\u003e, an organization that has been safeguarding and restoring the Duomo di Milano since 1387. Thanks to their work preserving the history of the cathedral, we can discover the unfinished works and inspirations of architects both past and present, and imagine the various versions of the cathedral that were never completed. We are honoured to partner with \u003cem\u003eVeneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano\u003c\/em\u003e to bring this example of sublime architectural vision to new eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released in classic blue and white with the name Vault of the Milan Cathedral, this design is such a favourite that we have introduced this vibrant new burgundy colourway.
