PIAZZA DELLA SIGNORIA

PIAZZA DELLA SIGNORIA

cathcath.com

The piazza is the home of Palazzo Vecchio and the setting for festivals such as Liberation celebration.

Its origin is not clear except that it was confiscated from Uberti Family in 1268, developed on a piece-meal basis until 1385 when it received the first layer of protective paving. It suffered alteration in 1560 when Cosimo I made extravagant changes to the
Uffizi.
