This is just a random building in Florence (probably not, but I have no idea what it is), but I liked the strong shadows cast on it in late November and how some sunlight manged to light up the red flags.
Next to it is the famous Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, often informally called the Loggia del Porcellino, is a charming historic marketplace in Florence, located near Piazza della Repubblica and Ponte Vecchio. It was constructed in the mid-16th century during the reign of Cosimo I de' Medici, designed by architect Giovanni Battista del Tasso, to host the trade of luxury goods like silk and gold.
The nickname "Loggia del Porcellino" comes from the famous bronze fountain of a wild boar (Il Porcellino), located at one corner of the loggia. The sculpture, a 17th-century work by Pietro Tacca, is a beloved symbol of Florence. According to tradition, rubbing the boar's snout and placing a coin in its mouth ensures good luck and a return to Florence.
Today, the loggia is a bustling spot for tourists, offering a market with leather goods, souvenirs, and artisanal crafts.
