The town served as something like a summer home for Florence's noble families, and their grand palaces line the city and seem disproportionate to the rest of the working village. The city's cathedral sits on the main piazza, and again, is unfinished. There must be something in the water here. Actually, not finishing San Biagio makes sense, since it looks beautiful on the outside and it's sitting in the middle of nowhere. But it does take a very strong disregard for civic pride to have your cathedral, sitting smack dab in the middle of the city, go without a facade for six hundred years. You would think someone in the dozens of generations of people who walked through this mud wall every week would have thought to make some improvements, but you'd be wrong.
