“Leone” (Lion) by Sedicente Moradi, 2018
Piazza del Carmine
Florence, December 2018
“The monastery once housed the Carmelites, who are credited with the foundation of the piazza in the early 13thand 14th centuries, when the church was sanctuary from the dangers outside the city wall. From these origins until a re-design in 1950, the space was open, even empty. New to the piazza is a sculpture in wood of a lion by Sedicente Moradi, which was unveiled as part of the dedication on June 16.” (The (Re)Birth of a Piazza, Viking Fusion)
