Do you Duomo?
The International Patrons of Duomo di Milano Inc., in partnership with Eataly, certainly hopes so. In another example of creative ways to save Italian cultural patrimony (see Santa Croce Florence’s Kickstarter Campaign or Bulgari’s sponsorship of Rome’s Spanish Steps), aims to raise $45,000 by 22 December 2014 as part of a broader campaign to restore the Cathedral, or Duomo, of Milan, founded in 1386 and a rare example of Gothic architecture in Italy.
They have a long way to go, so, do you Duomo?
