List of cathedrals in Italy

This is a list of cathedrals in Italy, including also Vatican City and San Marino.

There is a very small number of churches, such as that at Monza, which have such exceptional distinction or status that they are comparable in importance to cathedrals without having ever been the seats of bishops, and are commonly known in English as cathedrals.

There is a separate (incomplete) list for this small group of churches.

The Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral in Florence by Filippo Brunelleschi , which has the largest brick dome in the world, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and is considered a masterpiece of world architecture.
