About the Palazzo Vecchio
The Palazzo Vecchio, whose name means Old Palace, serves as Florence's town hall, in Italy. It faces the Piazza della Signoria, which has a copy of Michelangelo's David, and the neighboring Loggia dei Lanzi, a gallery of statues. At first it was known as the Palazzo della Signoria, named for the governing body of the Republic of Florence, and it carried several other names as its uses varied over its long history. Its present name dates from when the Medici duke moved his residence to the Palazzo Pitti, on the far side of the Arno River.
Florence's commune and people resolved in 1299 to build a palace that suited the city's importance and gave its magistrates more security and defensibility in turbulent times. Construction began on the ruins of the Palazzo dei Fanti and the Palazzo dell'Esecutore di Giustizia under Arnolfo di Cambio, who also designed the Duomo and Santa Croce. The cubical building is solid rusticated stone. Its walls hold two rows of Gothic windows, each with two lights, and it is topped by projecting crenellated battlements carried on small arches and corbels.
The rectangular tower is 94 m tall and sits off center because Arnolfo di Cambio built it on the base of an older tower belonging to the Foraboschi family. Two small cells in the tower held Cosimo de' Medici the Elder in 1435 and Girolamo Savonarola in 1498. Cosimo I de' Medici moved his official seat to the palace in May 1540. From 1865 to 1871 the provisional government of united Italy held its seat there, and the mayor of Florence has had an office there since 1872.
