Constructed in 1299, Palazzo Vecchio, originally called Palazzo della Signoria, was built to be the town hall of Florence. Although it remains a symbol and center for local government, Palazzo Vecchio is now a museum that is home to frescoes by Giorgio Vasari and Domenico Ghirlandaio as well as statues by Giambologna, Michelangelo, and Donatello. It also features frescoes depicting allegories of the four elements of nature and trefoils with allegorical figures of the four cardinal virtues. Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero highlights this lesser-known museum that has become a symbol of Florence.
