The Duomo as it is today is the end result of years of work that covered over six centuries of history. Its basic architectural project was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio at the end of the 13th Century; the cupola was created by Filippo Brunelleschi, while the facade that completed it was carried out as late as the late 19th Century. A series of structural and decorative interventions to both the exterior and the interior were carried out during this space of time; these range from the construction of the two sacristies to the 16th Century marble flooring, and from the execution of the sculptures to the frescoes, signed by Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Castagno, Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari.
