On Monday following their hospital rotations, SURF met HUF to tour the museum of Opera del Duomo which contains the impressive art and history of the Baptistry and Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. They visited both of these sites, concluding with the climb of Brunelleschi’s dome (a 462 step endeavor in the Tuscan heat). Dana and Mandy Steil were able to join them.
