Piazza Signoria

Looking out from the loggia into Piazza Signoria

Kim Rowland

A welcome refresher after spilling out of the chaos on Via Calzaiuoli, Piazza Signoria is home to the Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi, and a loggia housing some of the most beautiful and famous statues of the world, including Giambologna's "The Rape of the Sabines" and Cellini's "The Triumphant Perseus." A marker in the square decorates the spot where Savonarola was executed for heresy in 1498.
