The Piazza della Signoria (English: The Square of the Lords) is a city square in central Florence, which stands adjacent to the imposing Palazzo della Signoria.
A popular place for executions during the Renaissance, three members of the House of Auditore – Giovanni, Federico, and Petruccio – were among those who shared this fate in 1476, as they were betrayed and sentenced to death by Uberto Alberti as part of a Templar plot to seize Florence.[1] Later, in 1498, the mob execution of Girolamo Savonarola also took place in the plaza.[2] Around 1506, Lo Sparviero traveled to the plaza to save Demetrio il Silente, a weaponsmith working for Cesare Borgia who was sentenced to death after betraying him.[3][4]
