Climbers on the duomo

They were in action on the Duomo two years ago (article here) and this evening if anybody had happened to look up at the Cathedral they would have spotted an unusual sight once again – a couple of climbers scaling down the face of the Duomo bell tower.

As you can hear in the interview recorded at the top of the Duomo, the two climbers were there to remove plants which had been growing on the side of the tower and were starting to become a possible hazard as the roots dug into the centuries old stone work.
