The Loggia dei Lanzi

The loggia is an open air gallery. It is named after the bodyguards of the Medici who were stationed here.

Hercules and Nessus by Giambologna


Perseus with the Head of Medusa by Cellini



The Pasquino Group



The Rape of the Sabine Women by Giambologna
The rape was misconstrued from the Latin translation. It actually referred to the abduction of the Sabine women by the Roman as wives.



Rape of Polyxena by Pio Fedi

The others are probably statues of Roman emperors
