Built by architects Benci de Cione and Francesco Talenti between 1376 and 1382, the building was used to house public assemblies and provide a covering for the swearing-in of the members of the Signoria, the rulers of Florence.[1] The construction was in stark contrast with the architecture of the Palazza Vecchio.
