The Gothic Art Style spread in Italy from the Region of Île-de-France, where the first Gothic churches were built around the XII century.
The style is characterized by its grandeur and majesty and for its slender buildings. This verticality has a mystic significance, because
it forces people to see the buildings from the bottom to the top, as if they turned their glance to the Divine.
In Italy the most important centres of gothic art are concentrated in Tuscany and they are related to the figures of great artists such Giotto, Cimabue and
Duccio di Buoninsegna
