Il Duomo di Milano

Duomo di Milano from the outside. They as restoring the front. This is a side view.

I had 15 minutes extra on the way to the airport and I could not think of a better way to spend it than visiting the Cathedral in Milan. It is amazing. Everytime I come in to these marvels of engineering and design I ask myself what will be left from our generation. Everything we create is short term. There are very few business models which could handle projects like this. Everyone wants returns in less than 5 years or some bold wants to be profitable in 25. These projects where signs of power and maybe the fact is that there are noone powerful enough to build stuff like this. I am ofcourse very well aware that creating these landmarks have not come without great sacrifice of individuals.  I just arrived in Rome one of my favorite cities in the world. I just love the blend of old and new, the human culture is so tangible in Rome. I posted this in the taxi on my way downtown...
