Loggia dei Lanzi, 1380 | Open-air museum in Florence

Loggia dei Lanzi, 1380 | Open-air museum in Florence

Art periods and styles:
In the Piazza della Signoria, adjoining the Uffizi Palace, there is a masterpiece of Medieval architecture: the Loggia della Signoria, built in about 1380, to host public ceremonies and assemblies, during the republican period.
It is called Loggia dei Lanzi, because it is said that landsknechts (lanzichenecchi or lanzi in Italian) encamped here in 1527, while they were going to Rome.

According to another version, landsknechts - who were German mercenary soldiers - formed the guard of the Duke Alessandro de’ Medici and they stayed in the loggia to occupy an important and symbolic place for the republic, that was dead.

The Loggia is also called "dell'Orcagna", because it was once thought that Andrea di Cione, called the Orcagna, built it: actually his brother Benci with Simone Talenti made it. Maybe Orcagna worked on the project of the building.

Built during the 14th century, the loggia is a Gothic style building, but its three big rounded arches paved the way to the great Renaissance architecture: it seems that Brunelleschi took inspiration for his Spedale degli Innocenti from it. During the 16th century, the Loggia lose its original function and became an open air museum.

It hosts some ancient Roman sculptures and some masterpieces from the 16th century:

The Perseus with the Head of Medusa | Benvenuto Cellini - On the far left there is Perseus, a magnificent bronze statue by Benvenuto Cellini, commissioned by Cosimo I de’ Medici and placed here in 1554.

Il mio occhio s'è fatto pittore ed ha tracciato
L'immagine tua bella sul quadro del mio cuore;

Ché attraverso il pittore devi vederne l'arte
Per trovar dove sia la tua autentica immagine dipinta,
