<P> The Gothic interior is vast and gives an empty impression . The relative bareness of the church corresponds with the austerity of religious life, as preached by Girolamo Savonarola . </P> <P> Many decorations in the church have been lost in the course of time, or have been transferred to the Museum Opera del Duomo, such as the magnificent cantorial pulpits (the singing galleries for the choristers) of Luca della Robbia and Donatello . </P> <P> As this cathedral was built with funds from the public, some important works of art in this church honour illustrious men and military leaders of Florence: </P> <P> Lorenzo Ghiberti had a large artistic impact on the cathedral . Ghiberti worked with Filippo Brunelleschi on the cathedral for eighteen years and had a large number of projects on almost the whole east end . Some of his works were the stained glass designs, the bronze shrine of Saint Zenobius and marble revetments on the outside of the cathedral . </P>
