@@andreamorganti6628 me too. I think it's because we live in Florence. Living in Florence, and seeing the dome everyday, you get so used to it that going to visit it feels useless. All other things are so close to you, that you don't feel the urgent need to visit them, as you can visit them any time you want, while when you are abroad you feel like you have to visit as much as you can, since it is the only opportunity. As a result, I almost know more about other cities than my city, Florence xD

Honorable mentions should probably go to Civic Arena in Pittsburgh which was the largest dome of its time and opened up, and the Salt Lake tabernacle which is impressive given it was built in the 1860s, in the middle of nowhere, with shipbuilding technology and was for the longest time the largest wooden dome on earth.

@larrysorenson4789 2 года назад

The wooden dome category should give honorable mention to the Northern Arizona University athletic facility dome which spans 500 feet.
