Italy: Statue of a Roman (Sabine) woman. Loggia dei Lanzi, Piazza della Signoria, Florence. Roman Art, 1st or 2nd century CE. The Loggia dei Lanzi, also called the Loggia della Signoria, was built between 1376 and 1382 by Benci di Cione and Simone di Francesco Talenti, possibly following a design by Jacopo di Sione, to house the assemblies of the people and hold public ceremonies, such as the swearing into office of the Gonfaloniers and the Priors.
