Cathedrals, and particularly the monumental cathedrals built in the Middle Ages, were much more than just buildings, they contributed to society, institutions and mentalities. Such cathedrals had a profound influence on the own architects, builders and sculptors who built them, in fact on everyone involved – sometimes more of an influence than those affected would have liked. In this lecture, three examples of Italian cathedrals – the Romanesque cathedrals in Pisa, Piacenza and Siena - will be used to demonstrate the importance of such large construction projects.
