''Duomo'' (, ) is a term for an Italian cathedral church.〔Giacomo Devoto, Gian Carlo Oli, ''Il Devoto-Oli. Vocabolario della Lingua Italiana'', edited by Luca Serianni and Maurizio Trifone, Le Monnier.〕 The formal Italian word for a church that is now a cathedral is ''cattedrale''; a ''duomo'' may be either a present or a former cathedral (the latter always in a town that no longer has a bishop nor therefore a cathedral, as for example Trevi). Some, like the Duomo of Monza, have never been cathedrals, although old and important. Many people refer to particular churches simply as ''"Il Duomo"'' or "the duomo", without regard to the full proper name of the church. Similar words exist in other languages: Dom (German), dóm (Hungarian & Slovakian), domkirke (Danish), dómkirkja (Icelandic), domo (Portuguese) domkyrka (Swedish), domkirke (Norwegian), doms (Latvian), toomkirik (Estonian), and tuomiokirkko (Finnish). Also in these languages the respective terms do not necessarily refer to a church functioning as a cathedral, but also to proto-cathedrals or simply prominent church buildings, which have never been a cathedral in the exact sense of that word. In German the term Dom became the synecdoche, used - pars pro toto - for most existing or former collegiate churches. Therefore the uniform translation of these terms into English as cathedrals may not always be appropriate and should be used on a contextual basis. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, and to Lo Zingarelli, the word ''duomo'' derives from the Latin word "domus", meaning house, as a cathedral is the "house of God", or ''domus Dei''. The Garzanti online dictionary also gives the etymology as deriving from house, but house of the bishop ("domu(m) (episcopi); 'casa (del vescovo)') instead of the house of God. Italian cathedrals are often highly decorated and contain notable artworks; in many cases the buildings themselves are true artworks. Perhaps the best known Duomo is Milan Cathedral, but other well-known cathedrals include San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome and those of Alba, Ancona, Mantua, Parma and Florence's Santa Maria del Fiore. Other notable examples are in Cefalù, Cremona, Enna, L'Aquila, Modena, Monreale, Naples, Genoa, Orvieto, Padua, Piazza Armerina, Pisa (the Leaning Tower is the Duomo's bell-tower), Prato, San Gimignano, Siena, Spoleto, Turin and Viterbo. == Gallery == Image:Amalfi BW 2013-05-15 10-09-21 1 DxO.jpg|Duomo of Amalfi Image:San Ciriaco-Ancona.JPG|Duomo of Ancona Image:Asti Cathedral.jpg|Duomo of Asti Image:Cattedrale di San Leucio ad Atessa.JPG|Duomo of San Leucio in Atessa Image:Cattedralebitonto.JPG|Duomo of Bitonto Image:Cathedral of Brescia.jpg|The two ''Duomi'' of Brescia: the Old (at right) and the New (at left) Image:Catania BW 2012-10-06 11-32-08 2 fj.JPG|Duomo of Catania Image:Como Dom.jpg|Duomo of Como Image:Cremona Duomo.jpg|Duomo of Cremona Image:Ferrara 02.jpg|Duomo of Ferrara Image:Il Duomo Florence.JPG|Duomo of Florence Image:Cattedrale di Grosseto.jpg|Duomo of Grosseto Image:Massa marittima.jpg|Duomo of Massa Marittima Image:Matera0008.jpg|Duomo of Matera Image:Il Duomo di Mantova.JPG|Duomo di Mantova Image:Modena-Ghirlandina.jpg|Duomo di Modena Image:Monreale Cathedral exterior BW 2012-10-09 10-23-10.jpg|Duomo di Monreale Image:Duomo collevaldelsa fronte.jpg|Duomo of Montalcino Image:Duomo_di_monza.jpg|Duomo of Monza Image:Napoli BW 2013-05-16 11-40-12.jpg|Duomo of Naples Image:Duomo di orvieto orizzontale.jpg|Duomo di Orvieto Image:Duomo di Parma (retro).jpg|Duomo of Parma Image:Cathedral and Campanary - Pisa 2014 (2).JPG|Duomo di Pisa Image:Reggio calabria duomo.jpg|Duomo of Reggio Calabria Image:Torre guinigi, view 28, duomo di san martino.JPG|Duomo di San Martino Image:Kathedrale Siena Fassade.jpg|Duomo of Siena Image:Facciata duomo trento.JPG|The Duomo of Trento Image:Turincathedralout.jpg|Duomo di Torino Image:UdineDuomovistacentrale.jpg|Duomo of Udine 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「duomo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
