When purchasing the timed ticket to climb the dome, the range for each time slot is 45 minutes. Does that mean we can show up anytime within that 45 minutes, or we have to be there at the start of the range and our "appointment" is for those 45 minutes?
I initially assumed we could show up anytime within that range but realized that on a Sunday, our preferred day to do the climb, it closes at 5:30 and the last ticket time is 4:30 - 5:15.
I tried searching but didn't find an answer to this question. Am I really the only person who thought the range means "show up between these times"? :-o
Thanks!

This is what the duomo's website says under the Brunelleschi Pass (the one you need to purchase for the climb):
https://operaduomofirenze.skiperformance.com/en/store?skugroup_id=3006&product_id=13344#/en/buy?product_id=13344&skugroup_id=3006&bookable_y_n_a=a
" The start time of the visit to the Dome is the one selected at the time of purchase and shown on the ticket. Punctuality is required to allow all visitors the best experience.
• 5 minutes of delay are allowed, compared to the starting time of the visit.
So you need to be no more than 5 minutes late for your purchased time slot. You are unlikely to be admitted much earlier than your slot as the timed entries are to manage the amount of people climbing at the same time but I'd make sure to be there a little early rather than late.

Thanks, Kathy - you are a ticketing marvel! I totally missed the bit about being there within 5 minutes of the start time of the visit.
