La storia
Che cosa stai guardando
Pienza Cathedral is the Co-cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, commonly called the Duomo di Pienza. It stands on Piazza Pio II as part of Pope Pius II's Renaissance transformation of the town. Commissioned by Pius II and designed by Bernardo Rossellino, it was built in 1459–62 and consecrated on 29 August 1462. The cathedral is within the UNESCO World Heritage property Historic Centre of the City of Pienza, not the separate Val d'Orcia property and not a separately inscribed site.
The co-cathedral is a principal monument in Pius II's Renaissance redesign of Pienza, with its 1459–62 construction and 1462 consecration documented by the cathedral authority.
