The Duomo loves you. The Duomo sees all. At first, I kept mistaking The Duomo with other , Duomos, but nothing can top its pink and green gaudiness (I'm going to have my art degree revoked now! From the University of Windsor ...*shakes head sadly*). It has a gold orb up top (Brunelleschi's Orb? Did he do some spying? He built The Duomo, then The Duomo killed him to keep him from making another) which I think is some kind of all-seeing Eye of Sauron, and they only tell you it's full of relics to keep you away. A sweeter comparison is Santa Clause- The Duomo sees you when you're sleeping, and The Duomo knows when you're awake...so don't do anything to anger The Duomo, or oh, you'll be sorry...
Its giant black eyes look down on you while the all-seeing orb scans Florence for dissent. There are SO MANY piazzas to stage revolutions from, though...that was dangerous to type...The Duomo is rumbling....

I always thought Sauron should have been one of those inspirational stories for kids.
Sauron "I need the ring or I cannot complete my plan of world domination."
Sauron's buddy "Come on man, you are already dominating pretty well. Why focus on the ring."
Sauron "Because, I need the ring, without it I'm nothing."
Sauron's buddy, "Dude, look at the battles you've waged. Look at the whole of middle earth which you are slowly bringing to its knees. You did that, Sauron, you. It was never the ring. You had the power all along. Trust in yourself, forget about the ring."
Sauron "wow, you're right. All this time I've been clinging to low self-esteem and thinking the ring had all the power. But it is me. Thanks for making me feel better about myself."
Sauron's buddy "hey, that's what friends are for. Now lets go kill some hobbits."
Hee! Sauron's buddy would be some out of place hippie, Sauron himself a giant eyeball wearing a cloak, with Dungeons & Dragons posters in his room, his mom yelling at him to get a job, and at this great epiphany, Sauron and his buddy go hire a fabulous stylist and become awesome evil overlords!
