The marvellous floor of Florence Cathedral offers, to those who look at it from above, an optical illusion that gives the impression of a deep abyss. This creation of white, red, black and green marble was carried out over 160 years under the direction of the Italian Renaissance architect and sculptor Baccio d'Agnolo (1462-1543).

Fusang Tree
According to Chinese mythology, the ten suns lived in the legendary Fusang Tree in Tang Gu, a place beyond the eastern sea. It had nine branches on its trunk and a special branch at the top. Every day, one of the suns would depart from its branch in a chariot pulled by six dragons, accompanied for a while by its mother. In many ancient myths, the tree is often linked to the sunrise.
