Loggia dei Lanzi
The Loggia dei Lanzi is a building on the Piazza della Signoria, in central Florence.
History[edit | edit source]
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. It is considered an open-air sculpture gallery of antique and Renaissance art.[2]
Upon the rise of the ruling House of Medici, a private balcony was added to ensure the citizens were aware of the power of their new rulers.[1][2]
