When we see the word Duomo used to refer to a church, we understand that it is a general term. Citizens of Asti, Como and Pizza, to cite some examples, all use it, but in reference totheir churches. It is probably the Duomo Milano that is the best known of all the many Duomo in Italian cities. And for that reason, The Duomo is probably a reference to the Duomo Milano. The design for the Milan Cathedral is not attributed to any one man, but the structure was built over a long time under the influences of several notable engineers. The foundation stone was set in 1386 under chief engineer Simone da Orsenigo. He was succeeded by the Frenchman Nicolas de Bonaventure in 1389, and some ten years later, Jean Mignot, another French architect took the reigns. There were periods later on when construction stopped and the structure saw little to no work for lack of funds and a controlling idea. Francesco Sforza and Ludovico Sforza added to the construction, and Pellegrino Pellegrini was installed as chief engineer later on. Federico Borromeo came and went as chief engineer, as did Carlo Buzzi. Architect Francesco Soave logged some time on the project, and the Duomo Milano was largely completed just after the turn of the 19th century. A link can be found below to lean more.
It was built over a long period, with architects succeeding each other: Bramante, Raphael, A da Sangallo, Michelangelo, D della Porta, C Maderna.
Florence use to be the "capitol" of Italy (not really, but in the 16th century it was a big roller).
