## Commentary

Giotto was appointed Capomaestro of the Florence Cathedral in 1334. He probably confined himself to designing the separate Campanile which stands like a tower beside the façade. In fact Giotto&#39;s Campanile is not entirely as he designed it. Only the lower story of the bell tower was realized from Giotto&#39;s design. The next three stories were executed by Andrea Pisano Giotto&#39;s successor as capomaestro. The remainder was completed by Francesco Talenti in the 1350s.
