Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral - Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral (English spelling)

Japanese: サンタ・マリア・デル・フィオーレ大聖堂 - サンタマリアデルフィオーレだいせいどう(英語表記)Santa Maria del Fiore
Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral - Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral (English spelling)
The cathedral of Florence, Italy. Its huge dome is considered a symbol of the city and its Renaissance culture. The name of the cathedral (named in 1412) means "Madonna of the Flowers" and is derived from the medieval city name Fiorenza (town of flowers). Construction began in 1296, based on plans by Arnolfo di Cambio, after the old Cathedral of Santa Reparata was demolished. It is a three-aisled church with a Latin cross plan, but its centralized structure, with the sanctuary and transepts of the same shape, surrounded by square vestry around a large octagonal crossing, is an unprecedented innovation for a Gothic church.

Japanese:
イタリア,フィレンツェの大聖堂。その巨大な円蓋は同市とそのルネサンス文化のシンボルとされる。聖堂の名(命名1412年)は〈花の聖母〉を意味し,中世の市名フィオレンツァ(花の町)に由来する。1296年,アルノルフォ・ディ・カンビオの計画にもとづき,サンタ・レパラータ旧大聖堂を取り壊して起工された。ラテン十字形平面をもつ3廊式教会堂であるが,八角形の大交差部を囲む方形祭室によって内陣と翼廊を同形とした集中的構成はゴシック教会堂として前例のない斬新さを示す。
