Italian Gothic style

Italian Gothic style, prominent between the 13th and 15th centuries, blends the height and grandeur of Gothic architecture with regional Italian characteristics. It features tall, slender structures with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and expansive stained glass windows that allow abundant light. Unlike the heavier Gothic style seen elsewhere, Italian Gothic often has a more delicate, harmonious appearance, with less emphasis on verticality and more on proportion and decoration. Notable examples include Florence's Santa Maria Novella and Milan's Duomo, showcasing intricate facades and ornate details that reflect a fusion of Gothic innovation and Italian artistic tradition.
