The magnificent Duomo in beautiful Florence.

According to Episcopal tradition (i.e. presided over by a Bishop), a city (i.e. metropolitan area) may have many churches but it usually has only one Cathedral and correspondingly one patron saint (the latter is mostly an Orthodox/Catholic tradition). The Bishop is supposed to be a representative of the 12 apostles of  Christ and loosely speaking, the Bishop reports to a Patriarch - like the The Pope. Here is a small but good article on the organization structure of the Christian church.

Florence is the birth place of Michelangelo. Among Michelangelo's most famous works - The Statue of David in Florence. This one is actually a replica. More on King David in the page on Jerusalem. More on Michelangelo in the section on Rome.
