Piazza della Signoria
This piazza is a remarkable outdoor sculpture park adjacent to the Palazzo Vecchio which has been at the heart of Florentine politics since the 14th century. The people of Florence used to gather in the piazza when summoned by the ringing of the Palazzo’s great bell. Today, many of the statues an show are copies but all commemorate major events in the city’s history. Several are also linked to the rise and fall of the Florentine Republic.
