LEGEND FLORENTINA
If we lift the head in front of the Duomo in Florence, we can see the different figures carved on it. On the left, in particular, we can see a head of a cow, staring at a pointthat only "she and her creator" known. There are many legends about it:
The first speaks of a beautiful young bride who worked as a seamstress, and lived in Via dei Servi (street reaching the PiazzaDuomo on the left side). They constantly looked out of his balcony and looked out over the dome. Once his eyes met one of the men who worked in the construction of the Duomo and soon began a romancebetween them. Occasionally meetings were behind the husband of the young. They say that's why the constuctor carved the beef with the horns pointing to the woman's house, as a mockery symbolizing thewife's infidelity with the horns of the cow.
Another version, which has the res was sculpted to remember a frightening fact that hit Florence. They say that a butcher surprised his wife with a loverin his own butcher shop, located next to where the building of the Duomo. Full of jealousy and anger, murdered them both to "wash bloody disgrace". With wounded pride, he himself took the lives afterthey killed. It was both the impact for all the Florentines, who decided to carve the carcass as a symbol of the butchers, to remember forever the terrible event.
The latest version has the res wassculpted in honor of the animals that were used to build the Duomo, as they were loaded with heavy materials for transport along the sand ramps used for the building of the cathedral. The head of oneof the animals, was a gesture of gratitude to the animals that contributed to the building of this important work.
