Lonely Planet review

The upstart that broke the rules and outgrew the Madonnina atop the Duomo is widely admired for its fine bone structure: glass skin pulled tautly over a carefully calibrated, reinforced concrete base. Lead architect Gió Ponti's landmark has not only stood the test of time for 50 years, but even withstood an accidental plane crash into the building in 2002.
