Piazza di San Firenze

Located behind Palazzo Vecchio and close to Bargello, Piazza di San Firenze was named after a building dedicated to St. Florenzo. It was originally designed in the 15th century by Giuliano da San Gallo and expanded in the 19th century.

In 1994, during roadworks, a section of Roman walls and a tower were discovered under the piazza’s pavement.

The sculptures are by Antonio Signorini, a Tuscany-born artist.
