Marble statues
Loggia dei Lanzi
Piazza della Signoria
Florence, December 2019
“On the back of the Loggia are five marble female statues (three are identified as Matidia, Marciana and Agrippina Minor) Sabines and a statue of a barbarian prisoner Thusnelda from Roman times from the era of Trajan to Hadrian. They were discovered in Rome in 1541. The statues had been in the Medici villa at Rome since 1584 and were brought here by Pietro Leopoldo in 1789. They all have significant, modern restorations.” (Loggia dei Lanzi, Wikipedia)
