I have to say this. You two have topped anyone who’s ever attempted to show these buildings. You didn’t rush it. It was a long video which captured what it takes to climb to the top of Florence’s greatest achievements. It was so enjoyable. I’m super impressed by the quality and the respect you had for your audience to ensure they got the full experience! You can be very proud of yourselves!!!

[vivianfoster]

This was very helpful! I have been to Florence twice and didn't even realize some of these things mentioned. Going again in 2 weeks!

[marcelb-xcwb]

Well done, Micha and Matteo! Your cinematography was outstanding (including the few-second pause on key scenes so your viewers could take in the beautiful Florentine visuals). The historical background was also greatly appreciated.

[Godlvr]

Having seen it 7x, and been all over the world, it is without a doubt the most inspiring thing I have seen. Great video

[depaul]

In Florence now, and I was on the fence about both climbs. With pass in hand, and because of this video, I'm going to give it a shot! Great job you guys, you definitely inspired me!

[riccardodotto]

I'm thinkin'bout what my people was able to do in the past...and now we have celebrities like Meloni or Berlusconi...SO SAD!(where had all the good times rolled...)

[kaykayron]

So, we have 2 days -- is the climb worth it?

[kannamunroe]

Am from Trinidad and Tobago love watching your videos and I always dreamt of seeing the Duomo in person . This will do hopefully next year I will finally get to Italy.

[mjreyes]

Amazing footage!! I have to fast forward the part where you guys are climbing as I was getting claustrophobic. Great job! I love Florence, probably my favorite city in Italy.

[chowdharysaab]

Yes nice vlog. Love it. Lots of information about Florence. I love Italy 🇮🇹. Thanks 👍🏻to both of you. ❤️ love from India 🇮🇳 . Keep it up.

[jenniferh]

I like the touch a sculpture portion. This helps visitors who are blind or who visual challenges. And young artists can get a different view by measuring by hand.

[LopaSHott]

Your videos are absolutely excellent. The cinematography, the information, and how you describe the experiences are fantastic.

[IMTHATELDER]

The quality of the production of this video is just awesoem! I’m in Rome right now, staying in pigneto and I passed through Florence today twice on my way to Venice on the train and back. Florence is my next holiday on the list ❤ keep it up guys! ❤️

[lisabarr]

Nicely done! First discovered you while researching for our upcoming Sicily trip this spring. We're lucky to have a second Italy trip this fall, and my husband picked Florence as the place to spend his 60th birthday. Can't wait to get back.

[glennirwin]

You always have such real content. I always enjoy the videos.

[jatinkumardesai]

Can one go up to some steps and come back down, due to mobility issues?, if possible, which is very interesting location to go up stairs and come back down to ground? Pl guide me

[bradlucas]

The dome climb is in segments, so you get plenty of chances to stretch and relax your legs. If you have an opportunity, please do this climb.

[JoelSimMusic-umuh]

i am going to purchase a Brunelleschie Pass starting at 2 pm, do you think i have enough time to see all the 5 sites considering the line in every sites? my train will leave the following day at 10am the following day so basically i have even less than half day in Florence. Thanks

[garyhaber]

As usual, a fantastic video.... best one I've great vision, very your work is so professional and you have such amazing faces to look at.

God has blessed you with each other and you make such a beautiful husband and wife.

I will be there last week of August. I'll only have time to climb the dome and visit the museum and go underneath. I only have 1 and 1/2 days allocated for Florence.... as I will be doing 2 day trips out of my 4 night one is to Pisa with maybe a late afternoon and evening in Viareggio, and a day in Lucca, as I want to go to the Sanctuary of St. Gemma Galgani to seek her intercession. Her relics are there (the idea of relics is not so much to collect Saints remains, but in doing so, to seek their intercession as you are in a sense, near to them. Every Catholic Church alter where the One Holy Sacrifice of Christ on Mount Calvary is made Present (which is what the Mass is) has at least one relic of a Saint imbedded into

brings me too my question that i have for you guys; inside the Florence Duomo, do you know where Jesus in the Tabernacle is? Behind the main altar or in a side chapel perhaps 💒 and also do you know if it is true that there is a side door to bypass the line if you wish to attend Mass?

( Ps. I don't know if you ever do this but next time you went to a Catholic Church, pop over and visit Jesus in the tabernacle because he's waiting there for you and he's so much longing for you to spend a little bit of time with him there, just to be with Him for a while and tell him that you love Him and share some of your love with Him, and to thank Him for the gift of the Sacrament of your marriage and the beautiful people that you are 😃 )

God bless you both.... and much love 🙏

I want to see the fresco but I don't have time to do the climb. Would it be a good idea to buy the Ghiberti Pass to see the dome from inside? And than see the Santa Reparata as well. Or can I also see the dome with the free entrance?
