The history of the Duomo Cathedral in Milan<\/strong> began in 1386<\/strong>. Yet none of the architects who broke ground that year in Piazza del Duomo<\/strong> lived to see even half of it built. Their grandsons did not either. The history of Milan Cathedral stretches across 579 years<\/strong>, from 1386<\/strong> to the symbolic year of 1965<\/strong>, through several generations of builders and at least five completely different architectural eras. The first blocks of marble were laid in the Gothic age, and the last elements of the facade were installed when humanity was already preparing to go to the Moon.
