The
Loggia dei Lanzi, also called the
Loggia della Signoria, is a building on a corner of the
Piazza della Signoria in
Florence,
Italy, adjoining the
Uffizi Gallery. It consists of wide arches open to the street. The arches rest on clustered pilasters with
Corinthian capitals. The wide arches appealed so much to the Florentines, that
Michelangelo even proposed that they should be continued all around the Piazza della Signoria.
