@@CarloRolle Thank you for making such an explanatory video through transitions of diagrams and drawings that show the history of Duomo. I study M.Arch in Politecnico Di Milano, and was always curious to know about history related to Duomo Di Milano.
Oh, you are studying in Milano. I was born live in Milano and therefore it certainly possible that we will meet in the near future. I have simply translated and narrated the video in its English edition. The author is my friend Andrea Rui, who is working on a long series of similar videos on historical buildings of Milano. I have so far translated 11 of the videos of Andrea (you can find them in my channel), and hopefully there will be many others in the future. The Italian editions can be already found on the UA-cam channel of Andrea. Thank you for your kind appreciation! Every like and comment helps the visibility of the channel, which tries to publish accurate and well researched content, be it history, philology or history of art and architecture. Have a nice evening!
@@CarloRolle Thanks for all this. I will be glad to meet you in future if possible. Its always good and better to know specially about the city you live in or move to. Ill go thru other videos too.
You are doing the right thing!!! You will see the videos and then you will visit the buildings by yourself: those that still exists. For what concerns the buildings that no longer exist, you will visit them virtually, due to accurate documental and iconographic research of Andrea, and you will visit the places, where they once stood. You will make the most of your stay in Milano and know the city better that many Milanese. It will be a wonderful experience that will enrich all you life. I can onlyu add that I have been several times in India and am an admirer of its culture and architectural treasures.
@@CarloRolle sure! It is a pleasure to meet you, likewise. The documentary was extremely fascinating. The Duomo of Milan has such incredible splendor. It truly leaves me speechless. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I know this is an old video, but I wonder if i can ask for some sources, like books or articles (in english if possible), with which i can do farther studying upon the subject. If you could provide me with some i would eally appriciate it.
Sources appear on the screen at the end of the video, at minute 18, but they are Italian ones, as the video was created in Italy and then translated in English.
@@CarloRolle I want to thank you for this video. I read both the books and that of Wittkowerand i can say with all my honesty that your video is a perfect summory of them and much more.
@Brilliant Thank you, for your kind comment. The English language is spoken in an almost incredible variety of ways, depending on different regional accents (sometimes even within the same country) and on the social milieu of the speakers. If one listens to an audio file of Lord Bertrand Russell, the British philosopher and mathematician, and then to the characters of a movie of Quentin Tarantino, one gets the impression of hearing two different languages; understanding both of them perfectly might require some concentration even to an English native speaker. On top of that, in this particular case, the lexicon used for the video is partly technical (i.e. the one of architecture); therefore not catching a single word can sometimes hamper the understanding of an entire sentence. Finally the narrator (myself, in this case) was obliged to speak relatively quickly, in order to keep pace with the images and the rich information content. The only way to mitigate this situation is probably to visualize the subtitles, which I have written manually. Unfortunately, nowadays UA-cam shows the subtitles in small characters (maybe to make room for advertising messages?), so that they might not be easy to follow on mobile devices. Thanks again to you and other viewers for your interest and understanding.
Marvellous explanation - Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in the video and your kind words!
That was an awesome explanation. I am amazed to learn about the proposal of 5 m protruding cornice on the facade.
Thank you for your interest and comment. Nice to meet you.

Thank you for your kind words. I apologize for this late reply. UA-cam has notified me only today of several pending comments.
The narrator accent was hard to understand! what a pity
The video has accurate subtitles. Have a look at them.
@@CarloRolle Thank you saw it, i don't mean to rude, the accent was distracting, thx for the video :)

Well use the subtitles. Do you know how to read?
@@CarloRolle I was able to understand your accent, Carlo. Lovely accent by the way, it goes hand-in-hand with the Italian story you are narrating
