Il monumento equestre in primo piano rappresenta Vittorio Emanuele II alla battaglia di San Martino e venne commissionato allo scultore Ercole Rosa da re Umberto I alla morte del padre nel 1878; ma venne collocato nella piazza solo nel 1896 essendo lo scultore morto prima di averlo terminato. Sulla sommità del Duomo, al centro, vediamo la Guglia Maggiore, costruita tra il 1765 e il 1769 su progetto dell'architetto Francesco Croce; e penso che sia superfluo specificare cosa rappresenta la statua dorata in cima ad essa. Dirò solo che è alta quattro metri e che fu realizzata su disegno dello scultore Giuseppe Perego, tra il 1769 e il 1773, in lastre di rame placcate d'oro su un'armatura metallica. Le quattro guglie in facciata recano le statue (da sinistra verso destra) di San Biagio, San Giovanni Battista de La Salle, Sant'Alessandro e San Felice. La stragrande maggioranza delle statue e della guglie del Duomo risalgono al XIX secolo; tuttavia la statua di San Biagio è stata realizzata nel 1962 in sostituzione dell'originale distrutta dai bombardamenti durante la II guerra mondiale. Il cielo scuro, dovuto all'imminenza di un temporale, per contrasto fa apparire più chiaro il marmo di Candoglia con cui è costruita la cattedrale.

A bit of history that is taken for granted (and most people don't know) around two beautiful photos.
Greetings.

Excellent research work and very beautiful photos in which the Duomo is enhanced by the thunderstorm light. Congratulations.

Thank you very much Clara.
In fact, I have always been fascinated by how Candoglia marble changes color depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
This would be true for all the materials that cover buildings; but this marble takes on very particular shades.
Have a nice day.
