The flagstone of the cathedral was laid on 13 November 1290 by Pope Nicholas IV, The cathedral was initially designed as a Romanesque basilica with a nave and two side aisles. However, when Giovanni di Uguccione succeeded Fra Bevignate, the design was transformed into Italian Gothic forms. The Gothic facade of the Orvieto Cathedral is one of the great masterpieces of the Late Middle Ages. The three-gable design is attributed to Maitani, who had clearly undergone some influence by the design scheme for the facade in Tuscan Gothic style of the Siena Cathedral by Giovanni Pisano and the plan for facade of the Florence Cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio\n
