The Piazza della Signoria was a city square in central Florence, along one side of it stood the imposing Palazzo della Signoria.
A popular place for executions during the Renaissance period; three members of the Auditore family – Giovanni, Federico and Petruccio – were exucted there in 1476, as part of the Templar plot to seize the city[1]. Later, in 1498, the mob execution of Girolamo Savonarola also took place in the plaza[2].
