The hall Piazza della Signoria on the former Costa Firenze

The Piazza della Signoria lounge on the former Costa Firenze.
Last year I was aboard the beautiful, in my opinion, Costa Firenze which unfortunately passed to Carnival in February 2024.
This was the main atrium, the one with the information office, excursion office and bar, in the center of which was this column surmounted by a majestic golden lion.

The Fountain of Neptune in Piazza della Signoria

La fontana del Nettuno in piazza della Signoria a Firenze

The Fountain of Neptune in Piazza della Signoria in Florence.
One of the most famous fountains in Florence located in the most famous square of the city of Florence.
Like many fountains in Italy it represents the god Neptune.
What fascinated me is the wise use of different types of stone and marble used for its creation.

Numerous sculptors participated, with an approach based on materials of different nature and color, dear to the client's taste. The result, however, was the object of harsh criticism since its completion, while today it is read as an emblematic example of the renewal of Mannerist sculpture shortly after the middle of the sixteenth century, in opposition to the prevailing Michelangelo-style academicism.

The Lodge of the Lanzi in the Signoria square in Florence

La Loggia dei Lanzi in piazza della Signoria a Firenze

The Loggia dei Lanzi in Piazza della Signoria in Florence.
Although its real name is Loggia della Signoria, like the square of the same name, I knew it as the Loggia dei Lanzi.
This structure, created before the Renaissance (and with a Gothic appearance), was built to house the many public assemblies of the Florentine Republic indoors.
Inside there are various works of great value, among which the Perseus by Benedetto Cellini stands out.

Signoria Square in Florence

Piazza della Signoria a Firenze

Signoria square in Florence.
Going to Florence without passing through this square is impossible.
One because it is still the center of the city and two because all the most famous attractions of the city of the lily are close to here (the Uffizi museum, the Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo).
Obviously, as you all already know, there is the beautiful Palazzo Vecchio and on the right the Loggia della Signoria.
