Brunelleschi’s dome looms at the end of Via dei Servi, a terracotta mountain framed by Renaissance palazzi and tight façades of stone and shutter. From Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, the street draws eye and footsteps toward Santa Maria del Fiore in a perfect lesson of Florentine perspective. Chiaroscuro light, shop signs, and a thrum of scooters tip the scene into the present, while the marble inlay and measured geometry speak to the city’s enduring craft.
