Skinned Alive - There’s an unusual statue, in the very back of the cathedral, of a skinned St. Bartholomew. It’s a must see.
Unfortunately, after researching, there is no substantial evidence about his life and death, and even yet another example of an inconsistency amongst the gospels.
It seems he may not have been skinned, but rather crucified. It also seems, according to the gospel of John, he must have had another name of Nathaniel. (biblical experts still debate this).
I have attached a photo.

Duomo tour - Guide was so lovely and took extra time with us to answer questions. You can tell she loves her city. Milan was beautiful. But the Duomo tour was the best part.

The view from the roof was amazing - The tour started on the roof of the Duomo and ended under ground which allowed the visitors to get the full history of the building of the Duomo and a great view of the city. The guide was well informed and stopped whenever requested to allow the group to take pictures when asked.

Amazing experience - The experience here was amazing. The prices for tickets weren’t too bad and it was quick to get tickets online so we didn’t have to queue. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby too.

Beautiful Cathedral - Took a day trip from Como via train. Got the combo Cathedral, rooftop, crypt ticket. Getting to and from the rooftop was a pain. TIGHT staircase with traffic going both up and down at the same time. Views and detailed architecture on the rooftop were amazing. The cathedral was amazing, and crypts were interesting. Overall not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

Stunning but lots of scaffolding! - Absolutely stunning Cathedral, however there is currently lots of scaffolding and building work in process which limits the views and experience. Not sure how long the building work is due to last.
