Loggia of the New Market Description

(Local Name: Loggia di Mercato Nuovo) The Loggia di Mercato Nuovo, built by Giovanni Battista del Tasso 1547-1551 and formerly frequented chiefly by silk-merchants and goldsmiths, is nowadays a market-place for Florentine handicrafts on every day but Sunday. The hall, which is open on all sides, is supported by 20 columns. A marble plaque in the center of the Loggia marks the spot where bankrupt traders were exposed to the jeers and jibes of the public.
