La piazza del Duomo \u00e8 il centro artistico e turistico pi\u00f9 importante di Pisa. Annoverata fra i Patrimoni dell’Umanit\u00e0 dall’UNESCO dal 1987, vi si possono ammirare i monumenti che formano il centro della vita religiosa cittadina, detti miracoli (da Gabriele d’Annunzio del 1910) per la loro bellezza e originalit\u00e0: la Cattedrale, il Battistero, il Campo Santo e il Campanile.\u00a0 Per via delle bianche meraviglie che la incorniciano emergendo quasi come visioni dalla distesa erbosa, \u00e8 nota con il nome popolare di piazza dei Miracoli diffusosi nel dopoguerra, era del turismo di massa.<\/p>\n
La disposizione dei monumenti, sebbene edificati in diverse epoche, non \u00e8 casuale: essi fanno parte di uno stesso progetto che includeva fin dall’inizio la chiesa, il battistero e il campanile secondo uno schema ben preciso. Quale esso fosse \u00e8 ancora oggetto di studi: alcuni ci ritrovano costellazioni (la Bilancia), altri invece riferimenti alla latitudine e longitudine. Diversamente invece Campo Santo e Spedale di Santo Spirito che furono costruiti come “cornice” alla piazza per assolvere ad alcuni obblighi.

This is the most suitable path to see the city of Pisa cutting it from the station to Miracles Square. The choice of materials, with an almost absolute supremacy of the white marble, and the constant presence of blind arches at the base and practicable small loggias in the upper orders lead to the thought of single project, almost the expression of the group of artists that works well together in the same building site in a relatively short lapse of time. Still, this is the result of long process that saw various architects, sculptors and painters taking turns, in the space of more than three centuries, and among them some leading personalities who have marked their epoch.<\/p>\n Each visitor entering this space is rapt in the sudden vision of the four monuments, a vision that looks ‘miraculous’, quoting the fortunate definition coined by D’Annunzio. The buildings seem to spring up from a wide regular lawn, which however dates back to the XIX century, when th square was redesigned in neo-medieval slant, clearing it from many more or less poor buildings and from the vegetable gardens that were still tended there. Also because of these uses, the one of Pisa has no comparison with other medieval squares of the cathedral that, from Parma to Modena, from Siena to Perugia, see the structure of the city radiating from them. Nevertheless, this unusual decentred area has been the spiritual, and not only, heart of the city of Pisa.<\/p>\n (Credits:\u00a0 www.turismo.pisa.it<\/a>)<\/p>\n More info and online ticket purchase:\u00a0 www.opapisa.it<\/a><\/p>\n"}},"web":"http:\/\/vn.be.webmapp.it\/poi\/piazza-dei-miracoli\/","addr:street":"Piazza del Duomo","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"56126","addr:city":"Pisa","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":"","address":"Piazza del Duomo, Pisa","sequence":1},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.394723800000065,43.7232252]}},{"type":"Feature","properties":{"id":13062,"name":"Torre di Pisa","description":" Il 9 agosto 1173 iniziarono i lavori di fondazione della torre campanaria della Cattedrale di S.

Molto probabilmente fu sotto la direzione dell\u2019architetto Diotisalvi, lo stesso che aveva dato inizio alla costruzione del vicino Battistero<\/a>, che prese il via la sua edificazione. Questa prima fase dei lavori fu interrotta all\u2019altezza del terzo anello a causa del cedimento del terreno su cui sorge il basamento della torre. La cedevolezza del terreno, ma anche il fatto che anticamente nell\u2019area della torre scorresse un\u2019ansa del fiume Auser, che ha quindi reso il terreno instabile, \u00e8 infatti la causa della pendenza della torre, e della sua fama.<\/p>\n Questi problemi di stabilit\u00e0 impedirono per lungo tempo il proseguimento dei lavori.<\/p>\n Il cantiere riprese poi nel 1275 sotto la guida di Giovanni di Simone e di Giovanni Pisano, aggiungendo ai tre anelli della costruzione originaria altri tre piani. Nel tentativo di raddrizzare la torre, i tre piani aggiunti tendono ad incurvarsi in senso opposto alla pendenza.

Neverthless, the the Tower was not originally conceived as a tourist atttraction, but to provide the Cathedral of Pisa<\/a> with the neccessay sound-emitting device, outlined in a significant and symbolic form. The problem of instability brought work to an end for a long time.\u00a0Building recommenced in 1275 under the guidance of Giovanni di Simone and Giovanni Pisano; three more rings were added to the three already completed. In an attempt to straighten the tower, the three additional floors bend slightly in the opposite direction from the slant of the Tower. It was completed in mid 14th century when the belfry was added. The structure of the Tower is highly unusual. It is made of two concentric cylinders joined together by a spiral staircase to the topmost story. Externally there are six rings of round-arched galleries. The marble ditch at the base of the Tower was added in the 19th century.<\/p>\n Over the past decades, much has been written on the position of the Campanile<\/em>, postulating a possible symbolic eason for it, or indicating it as part of a hidden astronomy-inspired layout that would involve the whole Cathedral compound. The position itself is therefore the first of the tricky aspects of its construction. Obviously, this unusual location cannot be accidental and it is also true that the selected spot immediately appeared inadvisable, due to the nearby waterway, a branch of the Auser river derivering from the Serchio river that ran through this part of the city. As a matter of fact, we have to assume that the Campanile<\/em> was built at the south-eastern border of the Cathedral square mainly in order to “adjust” the eccentric position of the Cathedral<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n The Tower was stabilised after a number of studies and researches carried out over the entire XX Century and culminated \u00a0in the intervention concieved and implemented by an International Committee in the years 1990 to 2001. The Tower now slopes at an angle of 5\u00b0 from the vertical. It remains standing because its centre of gravity is inside the perimeter of its base.<\/p>\n (Credits:\u00a0 www.turismo.pisa.it<\/a>)<\/p>\n More info and online ticket purchase:\u00a0 www.opapisa.it<\/a><\/p>\n"}},"web":"http:\/\/vn.be.webmapp.it\/poi\/torre-di-pisa\/","addr:street":"Piazza del Duomo","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"56126","addr:city":"Pisa","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":"","address":"Piazza del Duomo, Pisa","sequence":2},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.396596999999929,43.722952]}},{"type":"Feature","properties":{"id":13048,"name":"Battistero San Giovanni Pisa","description":" La fondazione del battistero si data al 1152, ma la sua costruzione ha avuto una durata di oltre due secoli.

\nThe square of the Duomo of Pisa – dominated by the Cathedral<\/a>, the Baptistery<\/a>, the Bell Tower<\/a> and Graveyard (the Campo Santo<\/a>) – represents an architectural whole characterized by a really surprising stylistic accordance, to the point of having been compared by Le Corbousier to the acropolis of Athens.<\/p>\n
\nOn 9th August 1173, work began on the foundations of the bell tower for the Cathedral of S. Maria<\/a>\u00a0on Piazza dei Miracoli<\/a>.\u00a0It was to be some distance from the church, about 56 metres tall, weighing 14.453 metric tons. Initially, the director of works was probably the architect Diotisalvi, the same person who began the Baptistery<\/a>. Work stopped after the third ring because of subsidence under the foundations of the Tower. Soft groundand the fact that in ancient times a bend in the river Auser flowed here, making the terrain unstable, is the reason why the tower leans, making it famous.<\/p>\n
\nL\u2019edificio, a pianta circolare, presenta all\u2019esterno un primo ordine con una serie di arcate cieche a tutto sesto scandite da colonne addossate, entro le quali sono aperte monofore e quattro porte. Al di sopra \u00e8 un corridoio di colonne archivoltate con una ricca decorazione scultorea entro timpani. Le lacune in questo ciclo figurativo sono dovute al trasferimento delle statue nel vicino Museo dell\u2019Opera del Duomo<\/a>. Gli stessi archi recano sulle imposte protomi umane eseguite da Nicola Pisano e dalla sua bottega a partire dal 1265.
\nSopra l\u2019ultima fascia di paramento in marmo si innesta la cupola, scandita in basso da una teoria di edicole marmoree sormontate da una coppia di pennacchi e da un frontespizio triangolare. Sulla sommit\u00e0 \u00e8 posta una statua in rame dorato raffigurante S. Giovanni, eseguita nel 1395 da Turino di Sano da Siena.
\nIl portale rivolto verso la Cattedrale fu decorato intorno al 1203-1204 da scultori di cultura greco-bizantina; il ciclo \u00e8 introdotto da due colonne laterali decorate e girali vegetali.

\nThe construction adapted to to the proportions of the Cathedral, with which he preserved a perfect axiality: the largeness of the facade exactly corresponds to distance between its main portal and the west door.
\nThe Opera di San Giovanni<\/em> was instituted for supervising the new building yard and at first the citizens were asked to contribute with a one denaro<\/em> tax pe month, ensuring a good start out of the works. The first Operaio, Conetto, brought back from the squarries of the Isle of Elba and of Sardinia eight columns and four pilasters for the bearing structure of the building, erected “with great triumph” in 1163. In these very years, the construction of the walls of the whole city, until then without any, started in the area next to the square<\/a>.
\nWork was then suspended for a long time, beginning once more in the mid 1300s, when the women\u2019s gallery was completed and the baptistery roofed over. At the bottom, the outside of this circular building presents a row of round dead arches, broken by slit windows and four doors and supported by pillars against the walls. Above these is a gallery of arched columns with ornately carved pediments. Empty spaces in this gallery are due to some statues being transferred to the nearby\u00a0Opera del Duomo Museum<\/a>. These arches are decorated with human heads carved by Nicola Pisano and his workshop, in and after 1265.
\nAbove, rises the dome, skirted by a row of triangular fronted marble aedicules completed with a pair of pinnacles. At the top is a statue in gilded copper of St. John the Baptist, made by Turino di Sano da Siena in 1395.\u00a0The door facing the Cathedral was decorated in about 1203-1204 by sculptors of Greek-Byzantine culture; the cycle is flanked by two columns carved in spirals of foliage.
