Google Arts & Culture for Milan Duomo

There are thousands of colorful panels that we usually only admire from afar, along the five naves of the Cathedral, often looking up high ... in search of details that cannot be reached with the naked eye.

Thanks to the synergy between the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano, its employees and the Google Arts & Culture team, it is now possible to admire a large part of the glass corpus of the Cathedral in extraordinarily high resolution... like never before.

For the first time in the world, the Cathedral's stained-glass window patrimony is accessible, supporting studies and the enhancement of the Duomo's heritage.

Bright colors, mosaics, lead and faces, meticulous details once unreachable and invisible, are now protagonists at your fingertips.

The project supports researchers and academics who want to study the high stained-glass windows from close up, offering invaluable new outlooks.

A challenge won through the years of the pandemic. And so in the stories we find the representation of a multitude of biblical characters, holy martyrs, stories of faith, depicted in silent and colorful figures who for centuries have adorned the monumental symbol of Milan.

Over 50 windows captured and various photographic materials tell the history of Milan Duomo and testify to the never-ending commitment of the Veneranda Fabbrica lasting more than six centuries.

How many stories are there to tell? Let's find out together on Milan Cathedral Remixed.
