The Loggia dei Lanzi, Exterior


On the exterior are two carved lions. One is a restored Roman sculpture, the other is by Flamino Vacca, c 1595.
  Above the arches are representations of the four virtues, Justice Prudence, Fortitude and Temperance. They were designed by Agnolo Gaddi, but not made by him.
