Museum on the square
The loggia was designed and supervised by Benchi di Chone and Simone di Francesco Talenti (1376-1382). The loggia was built for the meetings of the Signoria of the Florentine Republic, to receive guests in the presence of the burghers, which gave the name Loggia della Signoria. The name Loggia Orcanya comes from the erroneous attribution of Andrea di Chone, called Orcanya, the builder. After the expulsion of Alessandro Medici in 1527, the German Landsknechts (Italian Lanzichenecchi - Italian Lanzi) of Emperor Charles V, who captured the city and rested before the march on Rome and gave the modern name of the loggia.→
