 ural examples in Florentine architecture\, such as San Giovanni Baptistery
 \, Brunelleschi's Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore\, and the Medici's chapel.
  Along the years\, all of these domes have been subject of studies\, resea
 rches and monitoring activities\, mainly from the structural point of view
 \, performed at the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of the 
 University of Florence.\nThe presentation will then span from the descript
